Biden-Harris Campaign Taps Veteran Democrats For Help In Battleground State Wisconsin

Wisconsin was narrowly won in 2020 by the Biden-Harris ticket.

The campaign for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris is off to the races, and three veteran Democrats have been tapped to lead operations in the battleground state of Wisconsin. Garren Randolph will take the reins as state campaign manager, with Devin Remiker and Tanya Bjork stepping in as senior advisers, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Wisconsin was narrowly won in 2020 by the Biden-Harris ticket and is one of two states in which changes have been made to target young voters, white men without college degrees, and the Black community, according to USA Today. Julie Chavez Rodriguez, the Biden-Harris campaign manager, declared absolute faith in Randolph and the team that has been formed in the Midwestern state.

“[The] Wisconsin leadership team is battle-tested, highly experienced and ready for the fight ahead to again mobilize the coalition that sent President Biden and Vice President to the White House so they can keep delivering for Wisconsin families,” Chavez Rodriguez said.

The newly formed group will also assist other Democratic nominees on the ballot, including U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, who is up for re-election.

“This is the best possible team to lead Wisconsin Democrats to victory,” Baldwin said. “Their deep ties, knowledge of the state, and political acumen will serve President Biden well on his path to re-election. I’m thrilled we’ll be working together to win up and down the ticket in 2024.”

Randolph will be reprising his position as a key player for the Biden-Harris ticket in Wisconsin, having served as deputy state director in 2020. He also played a role in the successful Milwaukee County executive run of David Crowley in the same year. Randolph’s work helped to elect Governor Tony Evers, who threw his full support behind the former’s appointment ,saying, “[Randolph’s] experience and talent will be critical in building President Biden’s campaign in Wisconsin and keeping our state blue in 2024.”
