Ben Wikler hints at book project after tenure leading Wisconsin Democratic Party
Ben Wikler, the outgoing chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, hinted at what might be in his future Thursday, after months of speculation about why he was leaving an organization he’s widely credited with transforming.
At a lunchtime event in Madison hosted by WisPolitics, Wikler said he’s hoping to write a book that will offer lessons from Wisconsin to Democrats across the nation.
“I want to try to tell the story of what we’ve done here and how it’s made a difference,” he said. “My hope is that … our state can finish going all the way to where I think most Wisconsinites at this point would like it to go, and also support folks across the country who want to do the same thing.”
Wikler announced in April that he would step down from leading state Democrats, after serving two terms since 2019. He will officially leave office at the state party convention later this month.
