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).{{cite news|url=http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2014/11/11/the_other_gop_wave_state_legislatures__124626.html|title=The Other GOP Wave: State Legislatures|publisher=RealClearPolitics|access-date=April 29, 2015|date=November 11, 2014|first=David|last=Byler}}
