Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), announced his endorsements in the 2026 Pennsylvania Gubernatorial and General Assembly elections. These endorsements are part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/democraticredistricting.com\/democracydefenders\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NDRC\u2019s Democracy Defenders program<\/a>, a campaign supporting candidates running for state-level offices critical to safeguarding and strengthening democracy. The full list of endorsements can be viewed <a href=\"https:\/\/democraticredistricting.com\/democracy-defenders\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPennsylvania will have a key role to play as we respond to the grave threat posed by Republicans\u2019 anti-democracy crisis.\u00a0 Who is elected, from the top of the ballot to the bottom, will determine whether our country capitulates to Donald Trump\u2019s quest for unearned power or whether we return to our founding principles,\u201d said Eric H. Holder Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC). \u201cBy electing a pro-democracy trifecta this year, Pennsylvanians can not only prevent Republicans from gerrymandering the Keystone State, but also keep the door open to take responsive measures to ensure electoral fairness and thwart their efforts to steal unearned power in other states. I\u2019m proud to support these candidates who will fight tirelessly to protect democracy in Pennsylvania and across the country. Make your voices heard and elect these Democracy Defenders this November.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Washington, D.C. \u2013 Today, Eric H.
