Phyllis Nagy, who ran as the opposition candidate in the WGA West election against incumbent David A Goodman, on Monday congratulated her opponent after their sometimes bitter campaign that served as a referendum of the guilds five-month-long agency campaign.
Goodman received 4,395 votes (77.3%) to Nagys 1,292 (22.7%), and all of Goodmans running mates were also elected, representing a solid endorsement of the guilds path against the Association of Talent Agents.
“We congratulate David Goodman and the elected officers and board members on their victory,” Nagy and her WGA Forward Together slate said tonight in a statement. “Elections crucially give voice to opposing points of view, and while our strategies may differ, our goals are the same: to serve the best interests of our fellow members.
