Carolyn Allen (September 8, 1937 – August 27, 2016)[1] was a member of the Arizona House of Representatives and the Arizona State Senate from 1994 through 2011.[3] She was first elected to the Arizona House in November 1992, where she represented District 28.[4] She was subsequently re-elected three times to the House, always representing District 29.[5] [6] [7] After serving four terms in the House, the Arizona Constitution prevented Allen from running for a fifth term. She ran for the Arizona Senate in 2002 in District 8, which was new due to redistricting in the state. She won the election and won re-election 3 more times to serve as the State Senator from District 8.[8] [9] [10] [11]
