John Foti leads Americans for Tax Fairness’s legislative program and lobbying efforts in the U.S. Congress and the White House. Growing up, Foti’s personal economic struggles as well as his family’s Sicilian immigrant heritage instilled in him a deep commitment to justice and creating new opportunities for everyone to live and thrive with dignity. Prior to joining ATF, Foti worked for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), where he led the union’s public sector legislative work and PAC program. In that role he contributed to the union’s legislative victories, which included historic federal funding increases for child care, tangible student debt relief for dedicated public servants and working people, and reshaping the federal judiciary through working on the confirmation of dozens of judicial nominees including Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Judge Nicole Berner. Foti is a graduate of American University and currently resides in Washington, DC.
