WASHINGTON — The GOP’s scheme to protect their power through mid-cycle redistricting is spreading across the map, with Indiana Republicans becoming the latest to call a special session to rig their maps.
The DLCC is leading the national strategy to build Democratic power that puts the party on offense against Republicans’ nationwide scheme to grab seats to protect their meager U.S. House majority. The DLCC launched DemsOnRedistricting.com to fund the effort to win battleground state legislative chambers and called on state Democrats to pursue mid-cycle redistricting to fight back against the GOP’s attacks on democracy.
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:
“The GOP’s ploy to gerrymander itself into power ahead of the 2026 midterms continues to intensify across the country, with Indiana becoming the latest to join the ranks. As state Republicans’ attacks on voters expand, Democrats must meet Republicans’ might and fight back to preserve democracy. The DLCC has called on Democratic state leaders to use all immediate options to push back on Republicans – including mid-cycle redistricting – as we build more durable Democratic majorities. We must fund winning crucial battleground chambers to position Democrats for redistricting parity by the end of the decade.”
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the campaign arm of Democratic state legislatures and leads the national strategy for building power and winning new majorities. Over the last three decades, we have strategized cycle over cycle to win majorities and lead the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level, winning nearly a dozen new chamber majorities over the last decade. Our work has ensured that nearly half of Americans are represented by at least one Democratic majority in their statehouse. 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 and advancing opportunity, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
