Statement by Reverend Willie F. Wilson
Re: His Endorsement of Clark Ray For City Council At-Large
“I have enjoyed both getting to know and working with Clark. He knows that I support full civil equality for all residents of the District of Columbia – including those who comprise the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender & Questioning (GLBTQ) Community. I admire his willingness to reach out to all segments of this diverse city, to listen and to engage in discussions that are not always easy. This display of character and leadership is why I am supporting his bid for DC City Council At-Large.”

Re: Reverend Willie F. Wilson Endorsement
“I have enjoyed working with Reverend Wilson over the past two years. As an openly gay man, I’ve always been treated with respect and dignity by Rev. Wilson and his family. But more importantly, he has been willing to have discussions with me – not always comfortable or easy – on a wide range of issues, including those that affect the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender & Questioning (GLBTQ) community. On three separate occasions, I have addressed the congregation of Union Temple Baptist Church. It is through friendships and alliances such as the one that I have been able to foster with Reverend Wilson that we, as a city, begin to build bridges, develop an understanding and respect for one another, and discover common ground. This is the type of leadership that I pledge to bring to the DC City Council.”
