Our aim is to protect the independence of state supreme courts, to ensure that they are composed of justices who are dedicated to interpreting the law in a neutral way, who will adhere to precedent and who will protect the fundamental rights of all citizens, Eric H. Holder Jr., the former attorney general who is chairman of the redistricting group, said in a statement announcing the joint venture.
State supreme court races were traditionally nonpartisan, but recent years have seen increased political interest and spending, with 2022 fundraising estimated to surpass $7 billion for state-level races.
