A lot of pieces have been written here about Ben Wikler lately. The successful chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin has entered the race for head of the DNC. I’m thrilled! I think he is fantastic and agree that he would be great as chair of the DNC. I thought I’d provide some info on what we can do to help make that happen.
We used to have “Meet-Ups” here at Daily Kos. Gather in our cities and meet-up to eat (of course) and also to do some politicking. I miss those meetups but here is something that can be done online to help guide the course of the Democratic Party.
It’s the 448 members of the DNC who will be voting on the position of Chair so one thing you can do is contact the DNC members of your state party.
I googled “virginia democratic party steering committee” and got this link vademocrats.org/…
At that link there is a list of the members of the steering committee and within that list I found this:
Hon. Jennifer Carroll-Foy
DNC Member
Ms. Doris Crouse-Mays
DNC Member
Mr. Harry Khanna
DNC Member
Ms. Tram Nguyen
DNC Member
Mr. Bryan Graham
DNC Member
Hon. Levar Stoney
DNC Member
Ms. Elaine Kamarck
DNC Member
These would be the people in VA who need to be contacted. This can be done in every state.
Here are Michigan's DNC members michigandems.com/… Maryland’s are here mddems.org/…
If you can’t find your states members post a comment here and someone will help you find out, I guarantee.
It’s not that hard to find the contact info for these folks and when you do, contact them! Let them know who you’d like to see heading the D Party. Ask them to vote for Ben Wikler. Call them, email or send a text, do all 3. You would be amazed at the power the readers of Daily Kos have. More than one State Party Chair knows who we are!!
Also, it cost money to run. You can donate to Ben here

Some of the DK pieces that have been written:
Why we need Ben Wikler
We need to massively improve our ability to get our message out in a difficult media environment. That's how we bring down their 2024 presidential election totals and how we increase our own vote totals. Ben Wikler has the expertise we need to get this done.
Ben Wikler is officially IN for DNC Chair
Wikler is a fighter and his success at turning around the Wisconsin Dems is undeniable. The wins he helped secure in Wisconsin led to the overturning of the state’s notoriously gerrymandered legislative maps and have made it easier for elected officials like Gov Tony Evers to deliver materially beneficial benefits to the state that had been bottled up by the legislature and/or the state’s supreme court for years.
