Dear John,
We are thrilled to announce that DNC Vice Chair and Chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Ken Martin, will be joining us as the Keynote Speaker at the 12th Biennial Oregon Summit!
Read about the incredible impact Chairman Martin has made in Minnesota politics during his seven two-year terms as Chair.
In addition to his role as DFL Chairman, Ken Martin is the President of the Association of State Democratic Committees, and a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. Martin was elected unanimously to a third term as President of the Association of State Democratic Committees by State Party Chairs and Vice Chairs on January 21, 2021.
Chairman Martin is currently serving his seventh term as chairman of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), the Minnesota branch of the Democratic Party. He has held this post since 2011—making him the longest-serving chairman in the 75-year history of the DFL. Under Ken’s leadership the DFL Party has seen unprecedented success electorally, financially, and organizationally. Martin has not lost a statewide election during his time as Chair and there has never been a period in DFL party history that has seen more electoral success up and down the ballot.
As ASDC President, Martin created a comprehensive strategy to increase our Democratic Party’s support for State Party organizations. The vision was to create a true partnership with the DNC and a real 57-State Party strategy to build durable long-lasting infrastructure. This plan led to robust investment, significant growth, and a greater impact at the ballot box.
And now this year, Ken and the Minnesota DFL launched the Wellstone Academy to train the next generation of progressive political organizers and achieve even more movement-building electoral wins.
We're honored to welcome Chairman Martin to Oregon. Don't miss your chance to hear from this dynamic speaker. Get your tickets today!
