PA-HD18: Bensalem's Bryan Allen Wants to Help Democrats Expand Their Majority in the Pennsylvania State House
Bryan Allen, 47, of Bensalem wants to take his experience and “can do attitude” to Harrisburg.
Allen, a Democrat, will vie for a spot in May’s primary election for a chance to run in November and face Republican incumbent state Rep. Kathleen “K.C.” Tomlinson to represent House District 18, which includes Bensalem Township and Hulmeville Borough. Democrats have a single-seat majority in the state House and are looking to build on that, while eyeing potentially flipping the Republican controlled state Senate.
“As the only Democrat on the Bensalem Township Council for eight years, I had to work with my Republican colleagues in order to get things done for our community,” Allen said in an email.
Allen served on Bensalem Township Council and is the former chief of staff for Rep. Tina Davis (HD-141). While on Bensalem Council, Allen introduced the first casino tax rebate for residents and worked across the aisle to increase it; police officer staffing was increased and council took on developers to push back against urban sprawl. Allen was among those officials to support the construction and operation of Bucks County’s first fire and emergency training facility in Bensalem Township.
