She is a nationally known expert on election reform and works on other issues related to civil rights and liberties as well.

Her commentary on election reform has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, National Journal, national Associated Press reports, The Nation, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, New York Daily News, St. Louis Post Dispatch, Minneapolis Star Tribune, The American Prospect, and Campaigns and Elections, among other media outlets. She has frequently appeared on national radio and television, including C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, MSNBC, NBC, and NPR. She has spoken at number of national election reform conferences and forums, provided her expertise to members of Congress, and given expert testimony regarding the new federal election reform law before the New York State Assembly, the New York State Senate, the New York State Board of Elections and the New York City Council.
Among the civil liberties issues Ms. Wang does research, writing, and public
commentary on are privacy rights, freedom of information, immigrant's rights,
and freedom of expression.

and campaign staff member for a number of national and statewide political and
advocacy campaigns. She worked for Reverend Jesse Jackson in his 1996 get out
