Ken Martin
Chair of the Democratic National Committee | Proud Minnesotan
- A lotta people in DC want to win the argument. I want to win elections. Last night’s huge victory in Omaha speaks to the power of ‘organizing everywhere’ — our new mission at the DNC. Here’s how we invested in Nebraska:
- The longest serving incumbent mayor in the country, a Republican, just got fired by Democrat John Ewing in Omaha, NE. Congratulations Mayor-Elect Ewing, Nebraska Democrats, and the Democratic Mayors Association. Watch out Republicans - we are winning all over the country up and down the ballot.
- We just need four Republicans to stand with the people and vote against Trump’s big, ugly, Medicaid-gutting bill. Maybe they’ll see our new billboard driving around Capitol Hill today.
- Donald Trump is taking bribes.
- Since I became DNC Chair 100 days ago, we’ve hosted over 100 People’s Town Halls in nearly every state in the country. Republicans are running scared from their constituents, hiding after enabling Donald Trump’s economic destruction. But Democrats aren’t afraid to show up.
- In recent weeks, there's been renewed conversation about my longstanding support for a neutrality pledge within the Democratic National Committee. Here’s a 🧵 on why the Democratic Party must stay neutral in primaries.
- Some critics have wrongly framed this as an effort to shut people out of the party or to discourage contested primaries. Let me be unequivocally clear: That's not only false, it's the opposite of what I stand for.
- I've always believed that we win elections through addition, not subtraction. The strength of the Democratic Party lies in its diversity of thought, background, and experience. We are the party that welcomes debate and dissent—it's what sets us apart from the Republican Party.
