“Ken Martin was elected on Saturday to serve as the next chair of the Democratic National Committee, putting him at the helm of a party trying to rebuild its image after a disappointing 2024 cycle. Martin, the longtime chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, wants to help the party get ‘back to basics’ with a revamped messaging strategy aimed at winning back working-class voters who have drifted to the right. Martin, considered a favorite heading into the Saturday vote, beat out fellow midwesterner Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler and half a dozen other candidates.” (02/01/25)
