DEMOCRACY Defenders
HOW WE WIN
The NDRC’s Democracy Defenders program focuses on races that are critical to preserving the integrity of our elections.
2026 Democracy Defenders
Building on our effective model that changed the game on redistricting, we are applying our success in previous election cycles to now shine a spotlight on the state and local races most important for protecting our democracy.
The NDRC’s 2026 Democracy Defenders will serve as key firewalls against Republican anti-democracy agendas across the country during the midterms.
