It was formed after the 1994 elections, by a group of Democratic state legislators and then Democratic National Committee DNC chair Don Fowler . About The Democratic Legislative CampaignCommittee DLCC works to win state legislative seats and chambers for Democrats. The DLCC s mission is to build and maintain winning, state of the art campaign committees through a continuing partnership with legislative leaders, professional staff, and supporters. Its political directors work with legislators, caucus directors, and allies in each state. They develop state specific strategies, working with national and local partners to enable Democratic legislators to win in all regions of the country. The DLCC helps give them access to tools like opinion poll polling , communications, opposition research , and campaign finance fundraising . Many of the tools of modern campaign such as microtargeting , get out the vote drive s, and other operations are too expensive to be used effectively by only one small campaign the DLCC helps pool the resources of many campaigns, using economies of scale to provide access to campaign tools that would be too cumbersome for smaller campaigns to use on their own. The current chair of the DLCC is Mike Gronstal , majority leader of the Iowa State Senate he took over the chairmanship in 2007. ref http www.dlcc.org about chair DLCC Committee Chair ref The committee is led in its day to day operations by Michael Sargeant, a longtime Democraticcampaign manager and political staffer. ref http www.dlcc.org about execdirector DLCC Executive Director ref References reflist External links http www.dlcc.org Official website Category Democratic Party United States organizations ... more details

The NRSC was founded in 1916 as the Republican SenatorialCampaignCommittee. It was reorganized in 1948, and renamed the National Republican SenatorialCommittee. Recent Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist was an NRSC chair, and many feel he used it to make the connections that he used to become majority leader when Trent Lott resigned. The NRSC helps elect Republican incumbents and challengers primarily through fundraising. Other services include promotion using media and communications, as well as research and strategy planning. The NRSC generally avoids supporting Republicans in primaries against other party members, though the 2006 Rhode Island Senate primary between Lincoln Chafee and mayor of Cranston Steve Laffey is a notable exception. The NRSC sends out mass mailings to addresses in states where Republican senators are likely to be voted out. Mailings in October 2008 included one to Minnesota residents with the appearance of a comic book, but containing material unsuitable for children. Incumbent Sen.
