(WTAQ-WLUK) — Devin Remiker has been elected as the incoming chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
Remiker replaces current WisDems chairman Ben Wikler, who served in the role for six years.
After the election, Remiker released the following statement:
“The Democratic Party of Wisconsin is an absolute political force in our state and a model nationwide for how our Party can fight and win. I’m honored to have earned the trust of delegates to build on what we’ve accomplished with Ben Wikler. We have a sensational operation and a team that has been through some of the toughest political fights. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity.”
“We’re just 18 months away from a Democratic trifecta in this state and every second counts. We will take back this state by showing the Democratic Party is fighting for the working class, protecting fundamental rights and freedoms, and defending our democracy. It is all on the line– and we will fight like hell to save our democracy.”
Wikler also released a statement following the election, saying part, ““I’m thrilled to congratulate Devin Remiker on his election as the next chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. In Devin, the delegates to our state convention have chosen a leader, an innovator, a brilliant strategist, and a Democratic who understands to his core that we are strongest as a party when we join together, from every corner of the state, to fight for a future that lifts up working families.”
“It’s been a tremendous honor to lead this party for the last six years, and I’m profoundly grateful to the thousands of volunteers, party leaders, staff members, allies, candidates, and elected officials who have poured their hearts and souls into our work. Devin will do them proud. I’ll be there to support him, and our party, every step of the way.”
Wikler’s term as the party’s chair will conclude on June 30, with Wikler’s term beginning on July 1.
