Washington, D.C. — Today, Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), announced his endorsements in the 2026 Washington state legislative elections. These endorsements are part of the NDRC’s Democracy Defenders program, a campaign supporting candidates running for state-level offices critical to safeguarding and strengthening democracy. The full list of endorsements can be viewed HERE.

“This fall, Washingtonians have a chance to expand Democratic majorities in the state legislature and put the Evergreen State in a position to combat Donald Trump’s ongoing gerrymandering and affordability crises,” said Eric H. Holder Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC). “This dangerous moment for our democracy—driven by an out-of-control Trump White House and its Republican allies—requires bold leadership up and down the ticket, and each of these democracy defender candidates is committed to doing all it takes to meet the moment to protect democracy and our economy. With the stakes so high this year, complacency is simply not an option in any election for any office in Washington. This November, vote to elect these Democracy Defenders to the Washington State Legislature.”
