Meet Mike Vick

I serve as the national development director of the American Solidarity Party, treasurer of the Illinois Solidarity Party and coordinator of the Chicago chapter of the And Campaign.

I’m the host and contributing editor of the Chicago Civic Update, a newscast and weekly publication of And Campaign Chicago.

I began my career as a journalist, working as a reporter for Catholic San Francisco newspaper, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

I later worked as an associate producer and web editor for a local television news affiliate.

In 2016, I began a career in political activism, organizing home care and childcare workers for SEIU Healthcare in Chicago, fundraising for the AFL-CIO’s community affiliate Working America, and fundraising for Greenpeace in Chicago.

I was the field canvass director for the non-partisan group Citizens Action Coalition, Indiana’s largest consumer advocacy organization, specializing in utility, energy and environmental policy.

I served as the political director for the congressional campaign of Pastor Chris Butler during the 2022 Illinois Democratic Party primary.

I found the Solidarity Party in 2020 while running for state representative as a Democrat. I enthusiastically endorsed Brian Carroll and Amar Patel for president and vice president that year.

I left the Democratic Party to become a member of the Solidarity Party in January 2021, and briefly served as chair of the Indiana Solidarity Party before moving back to Illinois to join Pastor Butler’s campaign.
