Director of Civic Engagement and Voter Protection, Democratic National Committee
Reyna Walters-Morgan is the Director of Civic Engagement and Voter Protection for the Democratic National Committee, where she leads the organizationās national voting rights and voter protection strategy. Reyna started her voting rights work as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she initiated efforts that led to the first satellite polling location within walking distance of campus. Reyna graduated from Howard University School of Law, and worked in private practice at Kirkland & Ellis LLP and later as a Senior Attorney for the Social Security Administration.
In 2016, she decided to leave her “good government job” to follow her passion for voting rights, which took her to Ohio to serve as a Regional Voter Protection Director for the Clinton Presidential Campaign, back home to North Carolina to open her own law practice, Walters-Morgan Law PLLC, and manage North Carolina’s 2018 nonprofit Election Protection program, and eventually to the DNC. When Reyna isn’t working to save our democracy, she is an avid traveler, with 36 countries (and counting) under her belt.
