Martin's a well-respected state chair and has spent a ton of time building relationships with DNC members. Wikler was more popular among Democratic politicians and activist types, but they're not the ones who vote. (I'd have preferred Wikler myself based on his record in WI, but Martin is not going to do a bad job).

The job is mostly fundraising and limited state party coordination anyway.

Has been. But going forward it must be far more than that. See the quote from Simon Rosenberg.

Winning in Wisconsin is more impressive than winning in Minnesota

Maybe....but Martin's done a lot better job of winning in Minnesota than Wikler has in Wisconsin.

IтАЩd have to familiarize myself with MartinтАЩs history in Minnesota but if he was chosen, itтАЩs likely because heтАЩs got a strong strategy helping elect and re-elect Democrats in MN that can translate into other states.
