Big news here at Public Citizen headquarters.

We are thrilled to announce that Lisa Gilbert is joining Robert Weissman as co-president of Public Citizen.

This news is already being noticed in the halls of power.

“I’ve long been glad to work side by side with Public Citizen and Lisa Gilbert, and it’s great news that she will be helping lead the organization as co-president going forward.” —Senator Elizabeth Warren

“Congratulations to Lisa Gilbert on her well-deserved elevation to co-president at Public Citizen. Lisa is known far and wide as a passionate advocate for strong democracy, ethical government, and a livable planet.” —Rep. Jamie Raskin

Watch our latest video, where Lisa reflects on how much it means to be teaming up with Robert as co-presidents of Public Citizen.

Read our statement to the national media with more about Lisa joining Robert as co-presidents.

Lisa and Robert have worked closely for more than a decade, and she has been at his side as Public Citizen’s executive vice president since 2020.

Here’s Robert:

“Lisa is known throughout the policy community as a brilliant strategic mind, a master coalition builder, a powerhouse lobbyist, an expert across a broad range of policy areas, and a genuine change maker. Together — and at a crossroads moment for America — we hope to make Public Citizen even more effective in advancing democracy and justice, health, and a livable planet.”

And here’s Lisa:

“I could not be more excited to join Robert at the helm of Public Citizen. I came to this work — and to Public Citizen — 12 years ago because I’ve always been motivated by fairness. Once I saw the clear unfairness of our politics, I couldn’t unsee it. At Public Citizen, we fight for fairness every day. And we win.”

Right now, we are working on plans to address the post-election reality — whatever it is. We will make sure Public Citizen is positioned to advocate strongly for what is right regardless of who becomes the next president of the United States. We have so much to do!

Read our statement.

Watch our new video.

Going forward, you’ll be hearing from both of us about ways you can take action to help protect everyday Americans and our democracy from corporate greed and government inaction.

For progress,

- Robert Weissman & Lisa Gilbert, Co-Presidents of Public Citizen
