Wisconsin Democrats Elect Devin Remiker New State Chairman

Devin Remiker has been elected as the new chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, succeeding Ben Wikler who announced he would not seek re-election. Remiker, the party's former executive director and a seasoned political strategist, won the position with strong support from delegates and Wikler's endorsement. He emphasized the urgency of preparing for upcoming elections and the goal of achieving a Democratic trifecta in the state by winning majorities in both legislative houses and retaining the governor's office. Under Wikler's leadership since 2019, the party saw significant successes including record fundraising and key electoral victories such as flipping the state Supreme Court to a liberal majority and re-electing Governor Tony Evers and Senator Tammy Baldwin. Remiker pledged to continue building a strong party capable of fighting for working-class interests and opposing the policies of President Donald Trump. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin aims to maintain its status as a formidable political force in a state that remains highly competitive in elections.
