The Minnesota Democratic leader defeated Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Members of the Democratic National Committee elected Ken Martin as the central party body’s new chair on Saturday, picking a seasoned party operative to help lead the party back to power in Washington.
Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, defeated two other major contenders – Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley — and a host of more marginal candidates.
The outcome was not a surprise: Martin was the frontrunner from the moment he jumped into the race.
“In every crisis, there’s an opportunity,” Martin told HuffPost in November. “For me, it’s really about getting the DNC out of D.C. And we build a party to win and to last.”
In a race mostly bereft of major ideological and strategic disagreements, it was occasionally hard to distinguish Martin’s plans for the national party from those of his closest rivals.
