About Leigh M. Chapman
With over 10 years of experience in public policy, legal research, and voting rights, I am the Division Director of Pro-Democracy Alliance and Structural Reform at Open Society Foundations. In this role, I oversee a network of partners and grantees working to advance democratic participation and accountability. Previously, I served as the Acting Secretary of State of Pennsylvania, where I led the successful implementation of the historic 2022 election amid unprecedented challenges and threats. I also have extensive experience in civil and human rights advocacy, litigation, and leadership, working with organizations such as The Leadership Conference, Let America Vote, and Advancement Project. My core competencies include strategic planning, coalition building, policy analysis, and legal writing. I am passionate about promoting and protecting the right to vote and ensuring fair and inclusive representation for all people.
