Flipping the AZ State Legislature

In 2012, the Arizona legislature was dominated by a Republican supermajority, with only 20 Democrats in the House and 9 Democrats in the Senate. Fed up with the lack of Democratic representation, then House and Senate Leaders, Dr. Eric Meyer and current Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, created the Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (ADLCC). 

In every year since our founding, we have made progress and defended key seats for Democrats, and since 2016, Legislative Democrats have picked up seven seats across Arizona’s most competitive legislative districts. 

This year, we are two seats away in each chamber from delivering a Democratic trifecta in Arizona.

History

What We Do

The ADLCC recruits, trains, and supports legislative candidates by vetting, selecting, and managing award-winning direct mail & digital consultants; providing comprehensive legal services; investing in high-quality polling and opposition research; and connecting local and national donors to the most competitive legislative races.
