Of all the things the new DNC is doing I think the most important is its unprecedented commitment to fund and revitalize state and local parties; to compete and win in more red states and red areas; and to transform the Democratic Party into something that operates 24/7/365 not just in the months right before an election. 

Interview notes from Simon Rosenberg interview of DNC Chair Ken Martin, Hopium Chronicles, 6/18/25

Afternoon all, excited to share a new interview I completed yesterday (6/17/25) with the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin. I am grateful he stopped by to talk to the Hopium community.

While I want you to hear directly from Ken, to me the most important things the new DNC is doing are its plans to fund and revitalize state and local parties; to compete and win in more states and red areas; and to transform the Democratic Party into something that operates 24/7/365 and not just in the months before the election.

Ken’s experience of having been a successful State Chair in Minnesota for 14 years and President of the Dem State Chair Association for 8 years helped inform the DNC’s bold and ambitious plan. He calls it “Organize Everywhere, Win Anywhere” and I am all for that!!!
