Following word that Ben Wikler will not seek another term as Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, Joe Zepecki released the following statement:
“Every conversation I’ve had about the future of our party gets to the same place: Democrats have got to do better when it comes to how we communicate our message. We need more effective communicators, period. I’ve given long, serious thought to how we do that and up our game. Now, my plan is to spend the next week talking with Party members and leaders across the state about that vision to see if they’re ready to shake things up. Stay tuned.”
