FIRST ON DAILY SIGNAL — Trial lawyers are putting a heavy focus on a Democrat House majority by not only donating to organizations backing House candidates, but also dumping money into drawing favorable congressional maps.
A report from the watchdog group Alliance for Consumers, set to be released Thursday, shows that since 2025, trial lawyer-aligned political action committees have given $100,000 to the House Majority PAC, which focuses on getting Democrats elected to the U.S. House. The PACs also gave $50,000 to the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, run by former Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder.
The redistricting committee has been influential in the last year, donating $150,000 toward the election of Democrat candidates for the Virginia state legislature, and another $150,000 toward the election of Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger.
Immediately following the donations in October, the Virginia Democrats called a special session to attempt to amend the state constitution to allow for new gerrymandered districts, which would flip the state’s 6-5 Democrat congressional map to a 10-1 Democrat advantage. The new map passed in a referendum, but last week the Virginia Supreme Court found the procedure unconstitutional.
“The formation of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee arose after coordination with progressive groups like Emily’s List and Planned Parenthood, and fundraising efforts that were spearheaded by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other leading D.C. Democratic leaders. Since the beginning of 2017, the Shady Trial Lawyer PACs have sent NDRC over $650,000,” the report says.
The report examines key donors including the AAJ PAC, affiliated with the American Association for Justice and by far the biggest spender; the Truth And Justice Fund Company; and the Justice PACs, which since 2018 have changed names for the election cycle, from Justice 2018 PAC to now Justice 2026 PAC.

The National Democratic Redistricting Committee has opposed redistricting efforts in Texas and Florida expected to favor Republicans. The organization also supported the California redistricting effort approved last year, which is expected to allow Democrats to win more House seats.
Donating to redistricting efforts shows the trial lawyer PACs “aren’t fairweather liberals,” said OH Skinner, executive director of Alliance for Consumers.
“They are pushing for generational change, and they see the money they are giving can create majorities for their team year in and year out,” Skinner told the Daily Signal.
“The NDRC does not care about individual issues. They just want Democrats to win,” Skinner continued. “So, the money to Emily’s List and America Votes shows the trial lawyers are on board with their mission. But the large amount of money going to the NDRC really shows their level of commitment.”
The AAJ PAC has been the biggest donor to various liberal causes and candidates since 2017, giving $23.4 million, according to the report. The others are the Justice PACs, which spent $4.4 million, and the Truth and Justice Fund, which spent $3.2 million.
Other major recipients, according to the report, have donated at least $100,000 since 2025 to American Bridges 21st Century Foundation, founded by former journalist David Brock, a noted former Clinton family antagonist-turned-supporter. Since 2017 the PACs have given $700,000 to American Bridges.
The trial lawyer PACs also donated $75,000 to America Votes, a left-leaning group that advocates for voting access, for a total of $1.5 million since 2017. The PACs gave $40,000 to Emily’s List since 2025, and has given $750,000 to the pro-abortion group since 2017.
