[edit] Biography
Wilson is a professional political operative and serves as councilman Tommy Carcetti's deputy campaign manager in his run for mayor of Baltimore. Wilson is practically minded and organized, essential qualities because he is tasked with keeping Carcetti on a strict schedule. Wilson was once a night editor for the Baltimore Sun and has many connections amongst the city's media. He is an honest voice in Carcetti's campaign and is often the sounding board for Carcetti's worries about race in Baltimore politics. Wilson works closely with Carcetti's campaign manager Theresa D'Agostino to organize their efforts.
When poll results do not go in Carcetti's favour he loses interest in the campaign believing that it is impossible to win. Wilson is left to keep his candidate on track despite his pessimism.[1]
After Thomas Carcetti wins the election Norman Wilson serves as his right hand man, accompanying the newly elected mayor everywhere he goes.
