The group is focusing on nearly a dozen states between now and the next census when new maps are drawn.

“We’ve selected an initial round of electoral priorities, including state-level offices that provide a critical firewall against Republican gerrymandering. This marks the first round of elections that could affect the outcome of the 2031 redistricting cycle and, with NDRC and affiliates already in place, there’s an opportunity for a much longer runway than before to make an impact,” the group says on its website.

“We are investing in races that are critical to the long-term fight for fairness. Being successful in these elections could help lay the foundation for an even fairer redistricting process in 2031.”

Eric Holder, Obama’s former attorney general, is the chairman of the group.
