Tim Wildmon

President of the American Family Association

Tim Wildmon is the son of former Methodist minister Donald Wildmon, who left the ministry to form the National Federation for Decency in 1977. In 1988, after changing his group’s name to the American Family Association, Donald Wildmon expanded its scope far beyond its original focus on fighting pornography and profanity in television and movies. Tim Wildmon graduated from Mississippi State University with a degree in journalism, wrote two humor books, served on the Lee County, Miss., Republican executive committee, and dabbled in local political campaigns. Today, Wildmon writes a bi-weekly column from his religious-right perspective for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. He has devoted most of his professional life to building AFA, making it one of the most powerful religious-right groups in the U.S. Before becoming president, he ran the “news” division of AFA, formerly called AgapePress, which merged with American Family Radio News to create OneNewsNow.com in 2007.
