This is huge, John: Last November, Democrats won full control of Michigan’s state government for the first time in nearly 40 years. This historic victory was a direct result of our movement’s efforts to secure fair maps.
Will you pitch in now to support the NDRC so we can repeat our successful strategy in more states across the country?

For almost four decades, gerrymandered maps helped Republicans hold on to power in Michigan state government. They used their influence to restrict workers’ rights, undermine abortion access, and more.
But now, with control of the governorship, state House, and state Senate, Michigan Democrats have the power to pass legislation on key progressive priorities for the first time in a generation. And the NDRC’s work helped make this possible!
- In 2018, the NDRC supported the creation of Michigan’s independent redistricting commission – a reform approved by voters to make map drawing fair and nonpartisan.
- In 2021, the commission approved new districts that according to The New York Times is “one of the fairest” maps in the country. Rather than favoring one party over the other, the new maps were designed to favor the winner of Michigan’s statewide vote.
- In 2022, the NDRC supported Democracy Defenders running across Michigan – and these candidates were able to compete on fair maps. Thanks to the help of this grassroots team, many of them won.
Attorney General Eric Holder said, “Wherever Democrats can fairly compete, they can win.” Our work in states like Michigan proves exactly that!
With your continued support, the NDRC can replicate this proven strategy to help elect Democrats all over the country who will fight for progress on issues like abortion rights, gun safety, climate action, and more.
Will you pitch in today to help the NDRC continue our fight for fairness nationwide?
