Watch the VideoIn February 2025, Ken Martin, was elected chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). A longtime party leader and organizer, he brings more than 20 years of experience working on behalf of progressive candidates and causes. Martin has a career focused on unifying the Democratic Party and evolving its national infrastructure to meet the demands of the current political moment, a moment characterized by a rightward shift that ushered Donald Trump back to the White House.
In his first few months as DNC Chair, Martin launched his “Organizing Everywhere” tour, spreading the message that Democrats must organize everywhere, compete everywhere, and build locally.
This is seen as a strategic response to polling, coverage, and punditry suggesting deep challenges for the Democratic party.
A Midwesterner and Minnesotan, Martin sets himself apart from the "inside the beltway" DC elite, and brings a state-based perspective to national leadership.
Join us at the City Club as we hear from DNC Chair Ken Martin, in conversation with the newly elected Ohio Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathleen Clyde, on the future of the Democratic Party.
