About the Democratic Party of Wisconsin: For the next four years, Wisconsin state politics will carry an almost unprecedented intensity and level of historical significance. This year, Wisconsin was the state that tipped the Electoral College for Joe Biden. We were able to stop Republicans from winning supermajorities in our gerrymandered State Assembly and Senate districts. In 2021, we will take on a deeply consequential fight to redraw our legislative maps to make them fair. And in 2022, the state will hold competitive statewide elections, including for Governor, US Senator, and newly drawn legislative districts. In 2024, we will work to keep the White House blue.
For the sake of the state's future – and the nation's – the Democratic Party of Wisconsin seeks an intelligent, personable, organized, self-starting individual to join our team.
