Devin Remiker was elected the chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin in June of 2025. He is a lifelong Wisconsinite, born and raised in Two Rivers, and a proud graduate of the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. Over the past decade, he has been at the heart of some of the most important political fights in Wisconsin, working tirelessly to make our state stronger. He believes that by organizing, empowering, and engaging grassroots leaders in every corner of the state, Wisconsin Democrats can meet this moment and win.
Devin began his career in politics working for the campaign of State Representative Steve Doyle, before managing a successful campaign for La Crosse Mayor Tim Kabat. He then joined Congressman Ron Kind’s campaign in 2014 while still in college. After graduating, he continued working for Ron Kind, also leading the State Senate Democratic Caucus’ field operation in 2016, before returning to Kind’s campaign and serving as his campaign manager until he joined WisDems as political director in 2018.
In 2020, when the world ground to a halt mere weeks before Wisconsin’s critical Supreme Court race, Devin engineered the party’s vote-by-mail program, which became known as the “pandemic playbook,” which other states and the Biden campaign adopted.
After Wisconsin helped elect President Joe Biden, Devin played a crucial role in defending Biden’s victory during the recount and resisting efforts to overturn the will of Wisconsin voters. He then became WisDems Executive Director, guiding the party out of the pandemic and back to in-person organizing. Under his leadership, Democrats re-elected Governor Tony Evers in 2022—the first time since 1962 that Wisconsin elected a Democratic governor while Democrats held the White House. That same cycle, the party launched the “Save the Veto” campaign and made unprecedented investments to support Mandela Barnes’ 2022 U.S. Senate bid.
In 2023, under Devin’s leadership, the party helped elect Justice Janet Protasiewicz with record-breaking financial support and an unprecedented organizing effort for a spring election. When Republicans, led by Robin Vos, threatened to impeach the newly elected Justice, Devin quickly organized and led the Defend Justice initiative, ultimately forcing Vos to back down.
In 2024, Devin served as a Senior Advisor to the Biden-Harris and later Harris-Walz presidential campaigns, helping build the largest campaign effort Wisconsin had ever seen. Against the odds, Wisconsin remained the closest battleground state and defied the national red wave. Devin went on to lead the WisDems’ People v. Musk campaign, generating grassroots pushback and a wave of earned media against the flood of Elon Musk–backed dark money targeting the state.
Devin has been instrumental in building WisDems’ organizing program, which is considered the gold standard among state parties nationwide. Throughout his career, he’s never backed down from tough fights. He knows how to build coalitions, empower teams, and craft winning strategies.
Devin lives outside Reedsburg with his wife, Emma, and their two pugs, Wilbur and Francis.
