About

The States United Democracy Center is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to the rule of law and free, fair, secure elections. We provide direct support to state officials and law enforcement leaders as they uphold our system of checks and balances, protect public safety, and preserve our democracy.

We are guided by a Bipartisan Advisory Board of former state and federal officials, issue experts, and law enforcement leaders from both major political parties who are committed to protecting the will of the people and the rule of law.

Our Story

In the months before the 2020 election, it became clear that there was a deep need for an organization to support the state officials who run and defend our elections. That need was the foundation for what became the States United Democracy Center.

We understood that the cause of defending our elections is bigger than partisan politics. We wanted to make sure that state officials from both parties have the tools they need to protect the will of the people.

So, we assembled a team of leaders with decades of experience protecting elections. For the first time, current and former governors, secretaries of state, attorneys general, and law enforcement leaders came together to form a firewall for democracy.

The American system survived in 2020 because officials from both parties did the right thing. But the attacks on our democracy haven’t gone away. They have grown and spread.

States United is responding with a focus on protecting the rule of law and our free and fair elections. We provide direct support to state officials and law enforcement leaders as they uphold the law and our system of checks and balances, protect public safety, and preserve our democracy.
