The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the U.S. Democratic Party organization that works to elect Democrats to state legislatures. The committee was formed after the 1992 elections by a group of Democratic state legislators and then-DNC chair David Wilhelm.
In terms of the politics of the United States, the DLCC has a rival in the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC).[1]
