Leading his state party since 2011 and serving as vice chairman of the national party since 2017, Martin has already garnered the endorsement of 83 members of the DNC — nearly one-fifth of the body.
Martin is also the president of the Association of State Democratic Committees, which lobbies the interests of state parties at the national level.In his campaign video, Martin touted Minnesota as a strong Democratic stronghold and how party leaders in the state have worked to pass legislation to create paid family leave, affordable housing, and tax relief for the middle class.
“Here’s the thing, if you’re looking for a creature of DC, that’s not me, but I do know how the DNC works and how it isn’t working,” Martin says in the video. “I know how to listen to the voters, to those who feel cast aside by Democrats, and to the people working hard within our party with great ideas.”
James Harrison, the current head of the DNC since 2017, announced after the election that he will not be seeking reelection. Social Security Administration Commissioner Martin O’Malley also stepped forward yesterday. Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler and Rahm Emanuel, former Chicago mayor and Obama adviser, have also been floated.“For the first time in modern history, the majority of Americans believe that the Republican Party best represents the interests of the working class and the poor and that the Democratic Party represents the interests of the wealthy and the elite,” Martin said.
