WI-GOV: New state Dem chair tells 'UpFront' he's praying Evers runs for third term
Devin Remiker, the newly elected chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, says he “absolutely” wants Gov. Tony Evers to seek a third term.
“I pray that he decides to seek reelection,” Remiker said on WISN 12’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “But either way, I know the Democratic Party of Wisconsin will be in a great position to ensure he’s either reelected or reelect a Democrat in 2026.
“I’m on pins and needles,” Remiker added, saying he has no insight into Evers’ eventual decision. “Governor Evers has been a fantastic partner to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. He’s even put on pause his own election efforts to help fundraise for some of our state legislative work on cycles when he hasn’t been on the ballot. And he’s a tremendous fundraiser, and I think that when you look at what happens in this scenario where he doesn’t run for reelection, there’s certainly going to be plenty of other folks that are out there trying to raise money.”
Democrats nationally praised the state party for its fundraising juggernaut under the leadership of former party Chair Ben Wikler.
