Welcome to the DJCC
The Democratic Judicial Campaign Committee is the only organization whose primary mission is to elect Democratic and progressive judges to state appellate courts.
In the early 1990s, large corporate interests began buying control of many of our state Supreme Courts and many of our lower courts. Orchestrated by a political consultant named Karl Rove, these campaigns began in Texas and Alabama, spending millions of dollars. Today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce pours millions of dollars in judicial races every year.
Our aim is to bring Democratic and progressive groups together to combat the corporate takeover of our state appellate courts. Over the past few years, we have had great success in every state where we’ve competed.
We hope you will take a chance to learn more about us. The best place to start is on our About page.
