Andrea Hailey is the CEO of Vote.org, the nation’s largest nonpartisan digital voter engagement organization. Hailey led Vote.org to record-breaking growth during the 2020 General Election and the Georgia runoff elections, helping more than 4.4 million people register to vote and more than 3.3 million request mail-in ballots, and leading a 50-state get-out-the-vote operation which made over half a billion voter contacts across the country. Hailey and Vote.org’s work in 2020 has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, and Bloomberg.

With nearly two decades of experience in voter engagement operations and campaigns, Hailey is a recognized expert on civic engagement, and a staunch defender and promoter of democracy. Prior to joining Vote.org, she served as the founder of Civic Engagement Fund, an incubator for grassroots nonprofit organizations focused on voter empowerment and engagement. She has advised and supported the efforts of presidential and congressional candidates, ballot initiatives, and historic landmarks, including the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the National Mall, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Hailey launched her career on Capitol Hill in the office of Representative Patrick Kennedy.

In addition to leading Vote.org, Hailey sits on the boards of NARAL and Bend The Arc, serves on the Leadership Council of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, and is a member of the Society of Fellows for the Aspen Institute.
