We're a nonpartisan nonprofit advancing democracy through law, focused on voting rights, redistricting, campaign finance, government ethics and the rule of law
Campaign Legal Center is recommitting to the campaign for democracy we've been leading for nearly a quarter century. Not just for the next year or the next election, but for the long term. That's our commitment. That's our calling. That's our campaign for America.
Today is the 3rd time SCOTUS has denied an attempt by partisan politicians to use an unlawful map in Missouri for the midterms.
The gerrymandered 2025 map was never law. Yet, self-interested politicians—and now two lower courts—have repeatedly attempted to force it on voters.
This case never should have reached the Supreme Court three times, but we at Campaign Legal Center are glad that the final outcome of these cases is Missourians having the opportunity to vote under a lawful map this fall. Read more: campaignlegal.org/press-rele…
"It's so corrosive to democracy and to the public interest when we see the president financially benefitting from his official role," says Campaign Legal Center's Renata O'Donnell in @FortuneMagazine.

No one, regardless of how powerful or wealthy they are, should be above the law. Additionally, your political beliefs should not dictate how you are treated under the law and our Constitution. Hear more on what the rule of law means on Democracy Decoded: campaignlegal.org/democracy-…

Corruption at the highest levels of the DOJ has far reaching consequences. Career prosecutors are less able to do their jobs and keep Americans safe, argues former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance. Listen to the full episode of Democracy Decoded: campaignlegal.org/democracy-…
The 8th Circuit cannot convert an appeal of a TRO re Missouri's map into a final merits decision and order the precise same relief SCOTUS has already stayed. It's difficult to summon sufficient words to describe how egregious that is. Our 3rd SCOTUS brief: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/2…
WIN: A federal court dismissed DOJ's lawsuit attempting to seize voters' sensitive data in Washington state.
Voters are now 25-0 against the Trump DOJ's lawsuits trying to illegally seize voter data.
And to think that all of this stemmed from an FEC complaint Campaign Legal Center filed in 2020... 👀

New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF
In 2020, @CampaignLegal filed a complaint that kicked off a criminal probe that sent an executive to jail.
@ProPublica uncovered that prosecutors then turned to Susan Collins' role in an alleged bribery scheme.
After Trump returned to office, he gutted DOJ and the case died. 🧵
