Bob Schneider, the WGA East’s incumbent secretary-treasurer, will also be running unopposed, although Kathy McGee and Phil Pilato will be vying to become the guild’s next vice president. Jeremy Pikser, the guild’s current vp, is not seeking reelection. Sixteen candidates are vying for six open freelance seats on the guild’s Council. Incumbents seeking reelection include Bonnie Datt, Tracey Scott Wilson, Courtney Simon, Amy Sohn, and David Simon, who is a named plaintiff in the WGA’s lawsuit against the Big 4 talent agencies.
The four candidates vying for three open staff seats on the council include Shereen Mohammad and incumbents Kim Kelly, Hamilton Nolan and Philip Plato, who is also a vp candidate.
