Description

Who We Are

The Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (ADLCC) is the only organization in Arizona whose sole purpose is to elect Democrats to the State House and Senate. Our organization was formed in 2015 when Democratic leaders from the Arizona House and Senate identified the need for an organization whose purpose was to identify, support and elect Democratic candidates statewide. In every year since our founding, we have picked up seats and held the line against Republican incumbents who continue to radicalize. In 2022, ADLCC held the line in both the State House and State Senate, set against a tough and biased redistricting year. We have broken the super majority in our state and, with a Democratic Governor up for re-election heading into the 2025-2026 cycle, are more poised than ever to put a Democratic trifecta in our state government.
