Williamson joins a steadily growing field in the race to replace outgoing DNC chair Jamie Harrison which includes former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler, Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party chair Ken Martin, and New York state Senator James Skoufis . She’s the first woman to join the race.

"My experience of what went wrong has given me insight into what needs doing to make things right," Williamson wrote Thursday.

She joins a handful of other declared candidates for DNC chair, including Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler and Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party chair Ken Martin and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley. Jamie Harrison, the current chairman, isn't running for reelection.
