WASHINGTON —  A historic number of Black Democratic legislators are serving as their state’s top chamber leaders, bringing their experience and expertise to transform and serve their communities. This week, Governing and Pluribus News profiled just a few of these Black leaders, showing why diversity in legislatures is important to ensure Black citizens have a real voice in the political process and shape the direction of our country. 

From Governing:

From Pluribus News:

The DLCC is committed to helping build a stronger, more equitable nation by continuing to transform the landscape of state legislative politics and build new majorities that are truly representative of the communities they serve. Many of our Black leaders are historic “firsts” in their positions and truly represent the needs of their districts. While Republicans’ extreme agenda undermines fundamental rights for Black communities across the country, the DLCC is committed to building an inclusive society that ensures fundamental freedoms for all.

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the official Democratic Party committee dedicated to winning America’s state legislatures and building state infrastructure. Over the last decade, we have fought cycle-over-cycle to gain a dozen new legislative chamber majorities and we are leading the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level. State legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and have the closest connections to Americans’ day-to-day lives. From protecting fundamental freedoms and voting rights to growing the middle class, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
