WI-GOV: WisDems launch group to help eventual gubernatorial nominee as field grows

The state Dem Party is launching an initiative to help its eventual nominee as the 2026 primary field of those looking to replace Gov. Tony Evers continues to grow.

Dubbed the “Wisconsin Governor Readiness Project,” it will be a vehicle to raise money, invest in messaging and build out field operations before voters select the party’s nominee in the Aug. 11 primary, 12 weeks ahead of the general election.

“The campaign infrastructure that we will build over the next year will be vital to electing our next Democratic governor,” Evers said Monday. “The WisDems was a critical partner in my re-election campaign, and just like four years ago, I’m going to be fighting like hell alongside Chair (Devin) Remiker to ensure that Wisconsin has a governor who will always stand up for the people of our state.”

The party announced senior adviser Cassi Fenili – Evers’ campaign manager in 2022 and deputy campaign manager in 2018 – will lead the project.
