The National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) is a US organization that focuses on redistricting and is affiliated with the Democratic Party. The organization coordinates campaign strategy, directs fundraising, organizes ballot initiatives and files lawsuits against state redistricting maps.[1] At launch, the organization announced that it intends to support Democratic candidates for local and state offices in order for them to control congressional map drawing in the redistricting cycle following the 2020 United States census.[2]

Former Attorney General Eric Holder serves as Chairman of the NDRC. John Bisognano serves as President, and Marina Jenkins serves as Executive Director.[3] In 2016, President Barack Obama has said he would be involved with the organization as the main focus of his political activity after his presidency.[1] According to NDRC senior adviser and former US Representative Mark Schauer, the organization intends to attract support from party officials, labor unions, and the America Votes coalition of progressive activists.[4]

The NDRC is the first group within the Democratic Party to formulate a centralized strategy for gaining control of the redistricting process; in contrast, the Republican Party launched REDMAP to elect Republicans to perform redistricting during the 2010 cycle.[5][6] The NDRC is organized as a not-for-profit 527 organization, analogous to a political action committee (PAC) or Super PAC.[4][7] It was founded in 2016 and formally registered with the IRS on August 15.[4] It was officially launched on January 12, 2017.[8]
