威利·韋爾遜（英語：Willie Wilson；1948年6月16日—^[1]），是美國芝加哥的商人和政治人物，他擁有並經營幾家不同的麥當勞餐廳，亦持有進口分銷乳膠手套和其他醫療安全用品的奧馬爾醫療用品^[2]^[3]。他還製作了一個美國福音音樂電視節目《Singsation》，於2012年獲得艾美獎^[2]^[4]^[5]。

政治生涯

競逐芝加哥市長

韋爾遜參加了2015年（英語：Chicago mayoral election, 2015）芝加哥市長（英語：Mayor of Chicago）的選舉，在五名候選人排名第三，得票率為10.66%^[6]^[7]^[8]。在決選中，他支持初選排名第二的候選人赫蘇斯·「丘伊」·加西亞（英語：Jesús "Chuy" García）^[9]^[10]。

競逐美國總統

2015年6月1日，韋爾遜宣佈參選2016年美國總統選舉，爭取民主黨黨內提名（英語：Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016）^[2]^[12]^[13]^[14]。

他只在部分州的初選列入選票，可能由於南卡羅來納州選票資格費價格較高，令他在該州「南方第一」選區成為唯一少數候選人^[15]。

Despite his larger reach, De La Fuente shares one thing in common with his fellow New Hampshire long shots: None of them will appear on a ballot in South Carolina’s 「First in the South」 primaries on February 20 and 27, where the cost is far more prohibitive than last Tuesday’s $1,000 entry fee. The lone South Carolina curiosity will be Willie Wilson, a self-made Chicago businessman, who will appear on the Democratic ballot along with Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O』Malley.

Wilson previously finished third in the 2015 Chicago mayoral race, and he is the longtime host of the Windy City’s television gospel music show 「Singsation.」 Reached by phone in South Carolina yesterday, Wilson said, 「I’ll be happy if I get 20 percent or so of the delegates … I’m hoping I can win it.」 Wilson, who recalls going from mopping floors at McDonald’s to owning five franchises of his own, knows the road ahead will be difficult. 「I believe anything is possible, but I come on this journey to work hard and have faith.」
