Ben Wikler , the Democratic Party chair in Wisconsin , has garnered support from across the party’s ideological spectrum and from all levels of the party.

Wikler has been the party chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party since 2019 , but before that, he was a media personality, activist and a Democratic Party staffer.

His supporters say he's the best man for the job, but caution that it'll be an uphill battle to get new blood the top spot.

Wikler supporters point to this dogged willingness to fight in between high-profile elections and an ability to draw attention to issues and battles as lacking in the national Democratic Party .

Other state party chairs like Jane Kleed of Nebraska and Ken Martin of Minnesota are also running for the position.

Of these candidates, Martin appears to have the most endorsements of DNC members, entering the race with 100 endorsements.
