Breaking news, friend:
The NDRC just announced that we're supporting a lawsuit to remove two so-called "independents" from the slate of candidates to be considered for Arizona's Independent Redistricting Commission.
The truth is that neither candidate is truly independent. One works as a lobbyist, which means he should never even have been considered.
The second candidate the lawsuit seeks to remove might be even less "independent" than the first -- he's held rallies for Donald Trump and other Republican candidates in the parking lot of his gun store!
Arizona's Independent Redistricting Commission is made up of two Republicans, two Democrats, and one independent who serves as the chair of the commission. If either candidate we're seeking to remove were to be appointed to the position, it would likely allow Republicans to control the entire process.
Friend, this is exactly why the NDRC exists: to catch shady tactics that the GOP has used time and time again to manipulate the redistricting process in their favor. Even with the election days away, we can't take our eyes off of bad actors who are already manipulating the 2021 redistricting process.
But this work isn't cheap. Please pitch in today to help us keep up our fight to secure a fair redistricting process in ALL of our target states:

Thank you,
Team NDRC
Since 2017, the NDRC has executed a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete. Our victories have been made possible by our strong community of grassroots supporters. But 2020 will be our most important -- and toughest -- year yet. It's the last year before redistricting, which means it's our last chance to elect the Democrats we trust to fight for fair maps.
