About Katie Wilson (read more here)
Katie Wilson is the co-founder and executive director of the Transit Riders Union (TRU), a democratic membership organization that organizes in the Seattle area around public transit, affordable housing, workers’ rights, and other issues that affect the quality of life of working people. She has written extensively as a columnist for local publications including Crosscut (now Cascade PBS), PubliCola, The Urbanist, and The Stranger.
“Everything TRU has achieved has been possible because we built strong coalitions,” says Katie. “Leadership is not about one person or one organization. It’s about bringing together competent, motivated people around a shared vision, making a plan, being smart about strategy and politics, making hard choices when necessary, and getting results. That approach will guide my administration in City Hall.”
