Martin R. Wilson
Partner
Marty Wilson occupies center stage in California’s political landscape. In 2003 he completed a senior role in the most historic campaign in the state’s history -- the internationally watched victory of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Following this victory, Wilson served as executive director of the Arnold Schwarzenegger Swearing-in Committee, organizing a state political event unprecedented in scope and visibility.
For Schwarzenegger’s 2006 reelection campaign, Marty was a senior consultant to the campaign where he had direct responsibility for the fundraising for both the Governor’s committee as well as the California Republican Party. Immediately following the successful reelection campaign, Governor Schwarzenegger tapped Marty to be chair of his 2007 Inaugural Committee.
Long one of the state’s best known and most senior strategic counselors, Marty continues writing new chapters in the textbook of California politics. He has been a senior member of the last four winning Republican gubernatorial campaigns, played a senior role in several ballot measure campaigns and advises a number of major California employers on public policy matters.
Prior to forming Wilson-Miller Communications in 2004, Marty was the managing director for Public Strategies Inc. in Sacramento for five years; he held a similar position with Burson-Marsteller for six years.
As a longtime associate of and advisor to former California Governor Pete Wilson (no relation), Marty served alongside the former governor in the San Diego mayor's office, the State Capitol and the U.S. Senate.
Marty has served as senior fellow for the University of California Los Angeles School of Public Policy, board member for the California State Fair and director of the Coro Foundation, a public affairs training organization.
