TARA MULLER

Tara Muller is a Policy Attorney at Disability Rights NC, the state’s federally-mandated protection and advocacy organization for people with disabilities. She researches proposed and existing policy, working to gain legislative and agency support in areas affecting the lives of people with disabilities. Her scope of law is very broad, so she relies strongly on collaboration, engaging extensively with subject matter experts and external coalitions. In the elections and voting space, she works closely with DRNC’s Accessible Voting Project, an initiative designed to ensure  that voters with disabilities can cast a ballot safely, privately, and without barriers, in conformance with Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act. Originally from Asheville, she graduated from NC State University and Campbell Law School. For nearly 20 years before joining DRNC in 2020, she was a litigator in private practice, representing both businesses and individuals in workers’ compensation and appellate matters. Tara was also a certified mediator for several years and mediated a wide range of civil disputes across NC. She is committed to justice and equal access.
