Jon Hoadley

Director, the Unity Michigan Coalition

Jon Hoadley is an independent consultant focusing on coalition and campaign management. Prior to working independently, Hoadley worked on a major donor advising team.

Hoadley was also the campaign manager of One Kalamazoo, the successful local campaign to defend the sexual orientation and gender identity inclusive Kalamazoo Non-Discrimination Ordinance put before voters in November of 2009. The One Kalamazoo campaign built a professional team with local leaders, worked extensively with people of faith, activated new and infrequent student voters, and prioritized organizing in communities of color. As a result, 62% of Kalamazoo voters said “Yes” to fairness and equality.

Prior to managing One Kalamazoo, Hoadley was Executive Director of National Stonewall Democrats, worked for the Gill Action Fund, and managed South Dakotans Against Discrimination, the campaign that opposed the anti-marriage amendment in South Dakota, winning over 48% of the vote. A graduate of Michigan State University, Hoadley is currently based in Kalamazoo, MI.
