Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee

What Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee does

The Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (ADLCC), founded in 2015 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is a state-level political campaign committee organized as a project of the Navajo County Democratic Committee. Its sole mission is to recruit, support, and elect Democratic candidates to the Arizona State Legislature, with the explicit goal of securing Democratic majorities in both the Arizona House (currently 27 Democrats to 33 Republicans) and the Arizona Senate (currently 13 Democrats to 17 Republicans). ADLCC currently fields candidates and coordinated campaigns across all 30 of Arizona's legislative districts — a first in its history — including eight named battleground districts (LD 2, 4, 9, 13, 16, 17, 23, 27). It is led by Board Co-Chairs Senator Priya Sundareshan and Representative Oscar De Los Santos, with Sara Kennedy serving as Executive Director.

ADLCC's service offering comprises candidate recruitment, coordinated campaign infrastructure, voter outreach canvassing, paid cable and broadcast television advertising, digital and social media advertising, data-driven targeting of competitive districts, and fundraising coordination for Democratic legislative slates. The organization runs on a stack of standard political-tech platforms: ActBlue for online donation processing, Mobilize.us for volunteer recruitment and event coordination, Google Analytics and retargeting pixels (Facebook, Twitter, HubSpot) for digital measurement and persuasion, ArcGIS for district lookup, and ServiceArizona for voter registration. Its 16-person staff is supplemented by grassroots volunteer networks coordinated through precinct committee person recruitment.

ADLCC's revenue model is solely donations-based, drawing contributions from individual donors, labor unions (top donors include UFCW Union Local 99, AFSCME, and People Engineers Political Education Committee), and political committees. Financial figures are not publicly disclosed; the most granular public data point is $1.4 million raised by the LD4 Democratic slate in 2024, with $288,000 pulled in by Kelli Butler in a single quarter. Customer segments are best understood as donors, Democratic voters, candidates, and volunteers — none of whom pay for ADLCC services. Strategic value flows instead from electoral outcomes: a Democratic majority in either chamber, pursued through year-over-year incremental seat gains, would convert ADLCC's spend into legislative power over Arizona policy priorities including voting access, public education funding, and reproductive rights.
