Wisconsin Democratic Chair Ben Wikler, who was elected in 2019, has focused on grassroots organization. Through his efforts in Wisconsin, Wikler helped established 13 field offices throughout the state.

So how’s Uncle Joe playing in the Badger State? “President Biden is keeping his word and moving fast to make big differences,” Wikler told uPolitics exclusively. “I keep getting messages from Democrats across the state about how excited they are about...
