We know that there's a huge generational problem and that if Democrats – we did better with older voters and worse with younger voters, and we need to make sure we're working with younger folks and new voices and people who have familiarity across different new platforms. I also want to make sure we're actually looking at results and how we measure those results and what those results are.

There's not a lot of budget transparency within the DNC right now. a commitment that I've made on my platform at Ben Wickler.com slash platform is that we will both upgrade that transparency and bring DNC members in to build a, like, you know, a policy around how we build those consultancies and contracts.

And then to be able to raise money when there's not a democratic president, this is, and a lot of people are skeptical. A lot of money was spent in the last election. We didn't win it. This is not horseshoes. It doesn't count if you get close. If we want to be able to earn people's trust, like they're not ATMs. People are going to invest when they know that money is going to be spent well.

And so I want to basically be spending money at the DNC we'll have to raise and spend a lot in a way that we're very clearly doing all of that coming from our values and our path to victory. And that's a battle plan in each state across all the different kinds of fights that we need to fight. That's understanding how different races at different levels are interconnected.

Wisconsin has a state Supreme Court election April 1st. If Republicans win that, they re-gerrymander the state. If they re-gerrymander the state, they could rig our electoral system for the long term. Like North Carolina, we're in a fight to retain an election against a rogue Supreme Court because Republicans took it over in 2022. There's so many of these fights that are all part of this fight.

vast maze about how you win the power to make change in people's lives. And we need to be working from a battle plan, not just cutting checks to states to say, good luck, here you go, but actually funding program that leads to winning so that we can make a change in people's lives, which is the entire point of this work. And that's the set of principles that I want to use to inform how we spend.

Politics, people have relationships, and I'm and I honor that, but it's not about who knows who. It should not be about who knows who and who owes someone a favor or who scratched someone's back.

It should be about how we actually build a party strong enough to fight for the things that people need across this country that are going to be attacked by the Trump administration, how we communicate, how we show up, how we organize year-round on the ground everywhere in the country, as we've done in Wisconsin. as we need to do across the nation. That is the point of this work.

And if we do it right, then we could win enormous amounts of elections and really make change over the next four years and beyond.

Well, I want to honor that when there's a Democratic presidency, some decisions aren't made by the DNC chair. A lot of decisions come out of folks at the White House. And I think... I think President Biden has done, has passed a lot of really critical legislation. I also think that the DNC has not engaged in this kind of fight up and down the ballot in the way that we have the opportunity to do.
