Wilson is co-founder and general secretary of the Seattle Transit Riders Union (TRU), a left-wing political organization that has campaigned and lobbied for a variety of issues including transit access, minimum wage increases and renter protections.
“Over the last 14 years of my career, I have been organizing and building coalitions that have won major victories for working people,” said Wilson. “I’ve done that work as an outsider, pushing City Hall, and I want to bring that experience into City Hall. We’re at a moment where Seattle needs new leadership. We need leaders who are going to tackle the major crises that are facing our communities with energy and thoughtfulness.”
