Frankfort, KY - On February 1, 2025, Kentucky Democratic Party (KDP) Chair Colmon Elridge released the following statement congratulating Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin.

“Over the past four years that I have worked with Ken Martin as the leader of the Association of State Democratic Chairs, I’ve known him to be a vocal and unwavering advocate for state parties, pushing to make sure that they have the resources they need to win the toughest down-ballot races. As we look ahead, the DNC will benefit from his battle-tested and proven leadership to take back power.

“Ken is ready to play offense without ever losing sight of the big picture: expanding our base. I’m excited to partner with him as we create a party that has the capability to organize 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and compete in every race.”
