Meredith Stiehm has been re-elected president of the WGA West, defeating Rich Talarico in a landslide.
A total of 3,783 valid ballots were cast, and Stiehm received 3,354 to Talarico’s 300. Stiehm’s running mates were also easily elected. Michele Mulroney, a member of the guild’s negotiating committee, was re-elected as vice president, and Betsy Thomas was re-elected assecretary-treasurer. Mulroney defeated Isaac Gómez, who’s currently serving as a strike captain, by a vote of 3,235 to 411. Thomas beat Jeffrey Thompson 3,182 to 421.
Stiehm’s re-election, which in effect was a referendum on the guild’s ongoing strike, comes the day before the Writers Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are scheduled to resume negotiations for a deal that, if successful, would end the WGA’s strike, which is in its 141st day.

If a deal isn’t reached in eight days, the strike will become the second-longest in the guild’s history, and in two weeks, the longest. The WGA strike of 1960 lasted 148 days, and the strike of 1988 lasted 154 days. The ongoing strike is already 41 days longer that the guild’s last strike, which in 2007-08 lasted 100 days. SAG-AFTRA, meanwhile, has been on strike since July 14.
Stiehm’s re-election, and the election later this week of Lisa Takeuchi Cullen, who’s running unopposed to be the WGA East’s next president, will mark an historic first in which the presidents of the WGA West, the WGA East, the Directors Guild and SAG-AFTRA are all women. The chief executive officers of each guild, however, always have been men.
