...here's some more background on Mr. Martin...
----------------------
Martin’s voting rights record and experience
Martin has been the chair of the Minnesota DFL, the state’s branch of the Democratic Party, since 2011. When he took over the party, it had just lost the state house and one of the longest-held Democratic seats in Congress.
Under Martin’s tenure, Democrats have won every statewide election and secured two trifectas. Many of these Democrats worked to strengthen voting rights.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was elected to his first term in 2018 and reelected in 2022.
In 2023 and 2024, the Minnesota Legislature passed and Walz signed multiple pro-voting laws, including the Democracy for the People Act, a bill that restored voting rights to over 50,000 Minnesotans with felony convictions and the Minnesota Voting Rights Act.
Earlier this month, Walz endorsed Martin for DNC chair.
“In Minnesota, Ken has built a national model for how to elect Democrats in a competitive state,” Walz said. “I have seen Ken’s leadership in action, and it’s exactly what we need from our next D.N.C. chair.”
Sen. Amy Klobuchar was elected in 2006 and reelected in 2012, 2018 and 2024. She introduced numerous voting rights bills in the Senate, including the Election Worker Protection Act, the Same Day Voter Registration Act, the Election Mail Act, three bills addressing the use of AI in elections, and a version of the Freedom to Vote Act in 2021.
Since 2017, Martin has also served as the president of the Association of State Democratic Committees and as a vice chair of the DNC.
The Democratic Party chairs of California, Florida, Georgia and Rhode Island endorsed Martin ahead of the election.
