On Broadcast: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chair Martin on MSNBC\u2019s All in with Chris Hayes<\/strong><\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m here in Florida right now. I\u2019m going to be canvassing this weekend in those two Florida special elections. And yes, they are ruby red districts but we’ve already seen positive movement in our direction and if we continue to work and organize we can win anywhere. \u2026 The fact that Donald Trump is talking about this race is astounding. This is a race he won by thirty some odd points as he mentioned. The Republicans should win this easily, but they\u2019re clearly running scared right now. We know that we are seeing momentum in this race. The fact is that they could very well lose one or both of these races next Tuesday. \u2026 Democrats are energized, Republicans are demoralized and independent voters are swinging our way because they are pissed off at Donald Trump and Elon Musk.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Print:<\/strong> [3\/30\/25]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Point: \u201cNews4JAX also spoke with Fine and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin, who was canvassing on behalf of Weil.

We\u2019re seeing independent voters swing our way. We\u2019re seeing Democrats energized, Republicans demoralized.\u2019\u201d<\/em> [3\/30\/25]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Point: \u201c\u2018There’s no such thing as a perpetual blue state or a perpetual red state,\u2019 [Martin] said. \u2018We have to make investments of time, energy and money there to start to reverse course, and part of that is again standing up year-round organizing, making sure that we’re registering voters and decreasing the partisan registration gap that the Republicans and advantage that they have here, and making sure that at the end of the day, we’re investing money here,\u2019 he said.\u201d<\/em> [3\/31\/25]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Point: \u201cThe Republican nervousness around the special election in Florida\u2019s deep-red Sixth Congressional District was enough to bring Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin to the area to canvass over the weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBuoyed by strong performances in recent special elections, including a narrow state Senate win in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the DNC is now turning its attention to the race between Republican state Sen. Randy Fine and progressive teacher Josh Weil.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018I wanted to come out to make sure that we help close strong in this election,\u2019 Martin, a longtime Democratic tactician and Minnesota state party leader, told Florida Playbook.\u201d<\/em> [3\/30\/25]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Point: \u201cThe race is considered so close Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin will help stump for Weil in St. Augustine Sunday.

While campaigning, Martin said Democrats are committed to investing in Florida.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bulwark<\/strong><\/a>: Doomsday for the Dems?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [3\/30\/25]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Point: \u201c\u2018It\u2019s not by accident that I\u2019m here in Florida right now actually canvassing in the Florida 6 election, or that I\u2019ve been in Houston and Georgia already,\u2019 Martin said in an interview with The Bulwark before heading out to knock on doors. \u2018There\u2019s going to be a complete seismic shift as it relates to congressional power. . . . We cannot be caught flat-footed as a party. We have to be prepared to meet that moment.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n USA Today<\/strong><\/a>: Florida special elections: Trump and GOP scramble to save two critical House vacancies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [3\/31\/25]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Point: \u201cDemocratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin told USA TODAY that the special elections are about \u2018building long-term political power.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018We can\u2019t show up every four years and expect voters to hand us their votes,\u2019 he said. \u2018The DNC is making clear that there are no off years and we\u2019re going to fight like hell for every vote everywhere.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hill<\/strong><\/a>: DNC chair will campaign in Florida district ahead of special election<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [3\/27\/25]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Point: \u201cDemocratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin will campaign in Florida\u2019s 6th Congressional District this weekend ahead of next week\u2019s special House election. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMartin will hit the campaign trail with Democratic candidate Josh Weil in St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.
