[GAINPOWER.org: Jobs That Are Left] The DLCC is Hiring: Digital Data Coordinator or Manager

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee is the only organization exclusively committed to winning Democratic majorities and building Democratic power in state legislatures across the country. The DLCC has been working with state legislative leaders for over two decades to invest strategically in state programs and build the Democratic Party from the ground up.


State legislatures pass most of the policies that affect Americans' day-to-day lives, and flipping chambers from red to blue has an outsized impact on governing and public policy. Our Democratic legislatures are truly the last line of defense against Republicans' extreme policies and a conservative Supreme Court.  The DLCC is committed to building sustainable infrastructure in the states to win legislative seats and legislative chambers.


The DLCC compensates employees competitively and provides a very generous benefits package. We believe in work-life balance and understand that every employee has unique circumstances at home. We offer employees significant amounts of time off as well as flexible work options.
