Columbia, SC - Today, Congressman Jim Clyburn (SC-06) announced his endorsement of Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party Chairman Ken Martin for Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). This endorsement follows yesterday’s announcement that all of the members of the Democratic National Committee from South Carolina are supporting Ken Martin for DNC Chair.
“Ken Martin is a proven leader who has demonstrated an unparalleled ability to strengthen party infrastructure, build coalitions, and win elections," Rep. Clyburn said. "As Chair of the Minnesota Party, Ken has shown what it takes to lead with vision and integrity. He understands the importance of empowering state parties and elevating grassroots voices. I am proud to endorse him to lead our national party at this critical time.”
“South Carolina’s historic role in the Democratic Presidential Nominating process reflects our party’s commitment to black and rural Americans. Our next DNC Chair must continue building on this progress by fostering collaboration among all state parties and ensuring our candidates’ values resonate with Americans across the country. Ken Martin is the right leader for this moment.”
The DNC Chair’s election will take place Saturday, February 1, at the Democratic National Committee’s Winter Meeting.
