Abstract

Since Ben Wikler took charge of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, the organization has upped the ante for state elections. Wikler's taken the Democratic organization out of the back rooms and into the streets, raising the profile of the party and its chair to such an extent that the tech-industry bible Fast Company describes Wikler's Wisconsin operation as "the only state party with its own national identity." FEATURES On the morning of the highest-profile state election of 2023, the highest-profile state party chair in the country could have been making the rounds of the cable TV shows that regularly invite him to comment on national politics. "The party has more staff, more year-round outreach to voters, more fundraising, more planning than I've ever seen the state party do - than I've ever seen any state party do", says US Representative Mark Pocan, the Wisconsin Democrat who formerly cochaired the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
