President Association of State Democratic Committees 430 South Capitol St., SE Washington, DC 20036

Dear President Martin;

As an expression of our support and confidence in your leadership, we, the membership of the Association of State Democratic Committees, respectfully ask that you seek reelection as our president.

We pledge our full support for your reelection and further pledge to work cooperatively with you in order to ensure success in the upcoming election cycle and beyond.

Your understanding of our needs coupled with your relentless advocacy for our Association and all 57 states and territories have brought us increased support as we work to strengthen state parties across the country. We believe you are uniquely equipped to represent us with the incoming Administration, new DNC Chair and DNC staff.

The Association of State Democratic Chairs has seen unprecedented growth under your steadfast leadership. The staff has more than doubled in size, allowing for better and more efficient communication, training, support for our programs, and coordination between state parties and the DNC.

You have negotiated several unprecedented agreements and programs with the Democratic National Committee that have led to additional access to voter data, resources, grant money and respect.

We know that there is more to do and continuity is key to ensuring we have an advocate working on our behalf as we build toward the mid-term elections in 2022 and beyond. Ken, we need you to run again as our President!

We proudly support your continued leadership and look forward to casting our ballots for you at the upcoming ASDC leadership elections.

Sincerely,

Ray Buckley President Emeritus, ASDC Christopher England Chair, New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair, Democratic Party
