Today, New Democrat Coalition Action Fund Chair Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) issued the following statement congratulating Minnesota State Party Chair Ken Martin on his election to serve as the Chair of the Democratic National Campaign Committee (DNC):
“New Dems are thrilled to congratulate Ken Martin on being elected to chair of the DNC and look forward to working with him closely to ensure Democrats take back the House in 2026 and the White House in 2028.
“Ken Martin has a strong track record of helping Democrats deliver and has led Minnesota since 2011, and there is no doubt he will bring that experience to the national stage to carry us to victory.
“As the first few chaotic days of the Trump Presidency have shown, it’s more critical than ever that we get a Democrat in the White House in 2028 and that Democrats take back the House next year. Ken will use his coalition building skills to connect with Americans in every community in this country and his fundraising prowess to ensure Democrats have the resources needed to get our message of fighting for kitchen table issues across to voters.
“Together with Ken Martin, New Dems look forward to communicating our commonsense message to the voters: Democrats are focused on the issues that matter most to the American people, including lowering costs, creating safe and healthy communities, fixing our immigration system, and strengthening our national security.”
