WisDems provided the following statement from Remiker:

"The Democratic Party of Wisconsin is an absolute political force in our state and a model nationwide for how our Party can fight and win. I’m honored to have earned the trust of delegates to build on what we’ve accomplished with Ben Wikler. We have a sensational operation and a team that has been through some of the toughest political fights. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity. "We’re just 18 months away from a Democratic trifecta in this state and every second counts. We will take back this state by showing the Democratic Party is fighting for the working class, protecting fundamental rights and freedoms, and defending our democracy. It is all on the line– and we will fight like hell to save our democracy."
