Ben Wikler: Unite. Fight. Win.


Dec 1, 2024
Today, the country we love needs the Democratic Party to be stronger. To unite. To fight. And to win.

In Wisconsin, we run a permanent campaign. We organize and communicate year-round, in every community—and it works. We've ended GOP control and unrigged our state.

What has made a difference here can make a difference everywhere. So I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee—to UNITE, FIGHT, and WIN across every state and territory in our country.

GOTV is fine for the last 6 months before election but we need much more.

We need long term strategies.

- we need to tackle misinformation. If the Republicans wanted too they can convince people that they have been the party of workers and dems have been party of LGBTQ all through heavy disinformation. We have no counter to this. NONE. They own the media


- we need democrats who live in west coast to move to wyoming, idaho, Montana. 30k dems in each state could swing 6 senate seats our way


We need people with a strategy that is not just GOTV and we have to stop talking mostly about LGBTQ rights. If thats all we talk about then it defines us. Its ok to support those groups but it should not be in our top 10 messages.

Would hate to see him leave for national, but guess he's mentored a few to stay in Wisconsin.
We (WI) need to keep building on our progress.
He's correct about uniting and FIGHTING.
Thank you.
