Thanks, Ben for everything you did to restore the progressive quality to WI politics. The meta message of your story as WI Dem Chair is that even when things look bleak, you keep fighting for what’s right and what’s important. People will respond.

For those folks who didn’t read your entire post, I’ve copied and pasted the list of your accomplishments below. Enjoy the time off with your family and I hope to see you return next year to help the D’s sweep the House and pick up several senate seats.
Together, we've done so much. We elected Jill Karofsky, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris in 2020; Jill Underly in 2021; reelected Governor Evers, Lt Gov. Rodriguez, Attorney General Kaul, and Secretary of State La Follette in 2022; elected Janet Protasiewicz in 2023; and reelected Senator Baldwin in 2024. When we fell just short in statewide contests, the margins were agonizingly close: Mandela Barnes came within 1% of beating Senator Ron Johnson; Aaron Richardson fell 1.5% short of now-Treasurer John Leiber; and Vice President Harris came within 0.9% of Donald Trump. And then, this spring, we supported Susan Crawford in what became, by far, the most expensive judicial race in American history—and she defeated Brad Schimel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump by 10%.
