It Needs to Be Said – with Ben Wikler

Ben – a champion of grassroots will discuss where we go from here.

This week Susan Wagner will be speaking with Ben Wikler, Chair Emeritus of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin (WisDems). As Chair from 2019-2025, he oversaw victories in 10 out of 13 statewide elections in the nation’s most closely divided state. WisDems drew national awards and recognition as the country’s premiere state political party, mobilized more than 100,000 people to volunteer for campaigns, grew to a team of hundreds, raised more than a quarter of a billion dollars, and played a pivotal role in flipping the state’s Supreme Court majority and ending its state legislative gerrymander. House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi described him as the “preeminent state party chair.”
