Add me to the number of folks who wish you'd been elected DNC Chair. Ken Martin is competent, but he's not inspiring. We need someone who can inspire the party to do better. (IMESHO, of course.)

I think there is room for many kinds of leadership, just as inspiration comes from many sources (including ourselves!). All leaders don't need to look or act alike. Ken Martin is building support for the infrastructure of the state parties, which sorely need that kind of development, and which I find quite inspirational and motivating.

Ben's inspiration tweaks us in different ways. His positivity and focus helped those of us working the ground game in Wisconsin to value our contributions and to keep organizing our neighborhoods, no matter how difficult the process and how long it takes. Others have been motivated and inspired by Ben in other ways.

My wish is that we'd quit comparing our leaders to each other and to some "ideal" we have in our heads for what leadership looks like. Leadership comes in many flavors and we need all of them.

Hey Ben, huge fan. I’ve also been doing a ton of thinking about Wisconsin. Unfortunately I had to move from Eau Claire due to two hospitals closing. I look forward to reading your book.

Pre-ordered. Looking forward to reading and sharing. I haven’t stopped my BlueSky posts and TwitterX tweets that YOU ought to be the DNC Chair as you are an engaging interview/panel participant, have dynamic charisma and you know how to WIN.
