UPDATE FROM THE HILL:
Ben Wikler wins endorsements for DNC from PCCC, MoveOn
"The PCCC’s endorsement comes hours after the center-left think tank Third Way backed Wikler. The two endorsements appear to show Wikler’s appeal to the party’s moderate and liberal wings."
Ben is on the ground in Arizona right now at a convening of DNC State Democratic Chairs, each of which has a vote. He has much more campaigning like this ahead.
Local shows of support including on social media will be very helpful as Ben speaks with DNC members across the country. You can personally endorse Ben Wikler for DNC Chair here (and share the URL's of social media posts you make supporting Ben for DNC Chair.) – The PCCC Team

You’ve probably seen Ben Wikler on MSNBC. Lawrence O'Donnell, Jen Psaki, Alex Wagner, Andrea Mitchell, and other hosts regularly look to Wisconsin’s Democratic Party Chair who is an ORGANIZER and revolutionized Democratic performance in the critical swing state.
Now, Ben is making big news by running to Chair the Democratic National Committee in a make-or-break moment for the future of our fight against Trump's fascism and to save our democracy.
The PCCC wholeheartedly and enthusiastically endorses our friend, Ben Wikler, for DNC Chair. (Ben needs to run a fully staffed campaign to convince the DNC’s voting members to support him. Chip in $3 or more to help Ben win here.)
Wisconsin had the best performance of any presidential swing state in 2024 – and Ben helped win a U.S. Senate seat and pick up 14 legislative seats!
To put his organizing talents and progressive values to work for Democrats nationwide, Ben must win the support of at least 225 voting DNC members including state chairs, elected officials, and other Democratic leaders from every US state and territory. That requires a real campaign with real expenses for real staff, travel, and more.
Local shows of support including on social media will be very helpful as Ben speaks with DNC members across the country. You can personally endorse Ben Wikler for DNC Chair here (and share the URL's of social media posts you make supporting him for DNC Chair.)
We know Ben Wikler well. The PCCC has fought alongside Ben for years in Wisconsin and elsewhere.
Under Ben’s leadership, the Wisconsin Democratic Party built one of the most sophisticated year-round organizing programs, broke numerous fundraising records, and united Wisconsin Democrats behind a progressive and populist pro-worker agenda. Ben could do that because he feels economic populism in his bones.
As DNC Chair, Ben Wikler will fight to protect Americans from greedy corporations and corrupt billionaire elites. Ben will ensure Democrats own economic populism and show voters who is on their side.
Chip in to Ben Wikler's campaign for Chair of the Democratic National Committee.
And, endorse Ben for DNC Chair here.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.

P.S. Here are some others who agree about Ben Wikler:
Senator Tammy Baldwin
"In Wisconsin, Ben has built a year-round organizing machine, united democrats of all stripes, outraised our opponents, and met voters wherever they are. And, Ben knows how to win. Ben is the right person for the job and I’m proud to support him."
Congressman Mark Pocan
"This is great news for the Dem Party! Ben Wikler announces his run for DNC Chair today. An organizer by training (MoveOn), a communicator with great skill, and a fundraiser as necessary in a purple state. Wisconsin did better against Trump and picking up legislative seats than any state due to Ben."
Michelle Goldberg, New York Times
"Wikler is the obvious candidate to rebuild a broken and demoralized Democratic Party."
Jennifer Rubin, Washington Post
"If the DNC wants someone of a different generation who possesses the energy to shake up the party — and to improve the party’s standing in the critical Midwest — then Wisconsin chair Ben Wikler is the obvious choice."
