What People Are Saying About Michael J. Wilson

 “Michael’s experience on Capitol Hill, in the Labor Department, and in the labor movement gives him exactly the right experiences to lead ADA at this crucial time. I know he’ll be a strong advocate for the progressive values and policies that ADA has always fought for, on Capitol Hill, with the Obama Administration, and with our allies in the progressive community.”           -Robert Reich

 “Michael J. Wilson is an outstanding choice to lead the Americans for Democratic Action. Since I first met Michael in Chicago over 25 years ago, I have watched him use his enormous talents and persuasive personality to fight for economic justice. He is a skilled leader who has deep roots in the consumer and labor movements. Michael brings not just a range of organizing, Capitol Hill and administrative experience to his new role but also a passion for positive change that will help ADA grow and prosper in the years ahead.” -Rep. Jan Schakowsky

“Having served as president of ADA for 6 years, I witnessed firsthand Michael’s commitment to this wonderful organization. Michael represents a new generation of leadership at our nation’s foremost group for people committed to liberal politics and a liberal future. His broad range of experience, from community organizing in the streets of Chicago to the Federal government to the Labor Movement, is precisely what ADA needs to continue their great work in the months and years ahead.” -Rep. Jim McDermott

“With Michael J. Wilson’s appointment as the new National Director of Americans for Democratic Action, the AFL-CIO and ADA continue our long and rewarding partnership. Michael J. combines the organizing know-how of a long-time labor leader with a progressive vision for a better America. I can’t think of a better leader for ADA.” -Arlene Holt Baker, Executive Vice President, AFL-CIO

“Michael is the right person at the right time for ADA. He’s got the energy and the vision to blend the old and the new to help put ADA out front.” -Mike Lux, President and CEO, Progressive Strategies

“In addition to being a trade unionist in his heart, Michael J. Wilson is a great communicator with an uncommon combination; strong sense of history and a strong sense of direction. That will serve him well as he leads American for Democratic Action into their next successful phrase.”  -Joe Hansen, President of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union

“Michael J. Wilson has always been l strong advocate for the rights of LGBT people in the workplace. Now, as the new national director of ADA, he steps forward as a leader in the fight for full marriage equality. Pride at Work is ready to work with Michael J. and ADA on all the issues facing LGBT Americans.” -Jeremy Bishop, Director, Pride at Work
