In her new role, McLeod, who joined LCV as a policy director in 2022, will continue to direct the organization’s lobbying efforts and campaign strategies, fostering strong relationships with legislative and administrative officials. Additionally, she will take on a broader role in managing New Jersey LCV’s programs and coalitions, working to strengthen partnerships across the state.
“Allison has proven to be an invaluable asset to New Jersey LCV. Her passion for environmental conservation and her deep understanding of policy makes her the perfect fit for this role,” Ed Potosnak, executive director, New Jersey LCV, said. “We are thrilled to have her stepping into this new position, where she will continue to drive meaningful change for the environment in our state.”
A lifelong New Jersey resident, McLeod previously served in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Government Relations.

Reflecting on her promotion, McLeod shared, “I am honored to step into the role of Deputy Director at New Jersey LCV. Protecting our state’s environment is my life’s passion, and I am excited to continue working alongside such a dedicated team to address the pressing environmental challenges facing New Jersey. I look forward to building on our progress by advancing policies that promote clean energy, protect our natural resources, and ensure environmental justice for communities that are disproportionately affected by pollution and climate impacts. Together, we can shape a healthier, more resilient future for all New Jerseyans, and I’m deeply committed to making this vision a reality.”
