Submitted Biography: "Tammy Allison, a resident of District 6, is known to speak publicly about her personal life as it as played a large impact on her career path. She is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and in 2018 relocated to District 6 after escaping domestic abuse from her prior marriage. Allison would be the first minority, and the first female to hold this seat since 1874. “I hope to encourage and inspire the residents of District 6, not just by my personal and professional experiences, but candid transparency of my personal life to assist District 6 residents in knowing that we all have tough times that require remaining resilient and steadfast in the belief that you are doing the right thing .” After 12 years as a public servant with the U.S. Department of Justice serving under President Bush, Obama, and most recently Trump, Allison launched her law practice in November 2020, where she has gained national recognition as an expert in Federal Executive Clemency. She has most recently released her stance on several key focuses of the election including local economic opportunities, the recent power and weather crisis, and criminal justice reform. "

After 12 years as a public servant with the U.S. Department of Justice serving under President Bush, Obama, and most recently Trump, Allison launched her law practice in November 2020, where she has gained national recognition as an expert in Federal Executive Clemency. She has most recently released her stance on several key focuses of the election including local economic opportunities, the recent power and weather crisis, and criminal justice reform.
Criminal Justice Reform: Reform in the criminal justice system can be accomplished at the state and federal level through the second amendment. District 6 residents deserve to exercise their 2nd amendment rights. A minor mistake that resulted in a non-violent, low level offense should not preclude any Texan or American from safely possessing a firearm. Clemency by the governor or President is the only way to legally possess a firearm after a conviction. I plan on introducing legislation to reform the Clemency process by addressing the inherent biases in the policies and procedures of the review process, including reallocating Congressional funds to resurrect the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives ability to restore gun rights.
- Federal Judicial Term limits: Right here in District 6, Judge John McBryde is infamous for running his court room with an iron fist. Having been previously suspended from the bench as well as being restricted from hearing any criminal matters as recently as last year, he has resumed hearing matters, despite his senior status. I plan on introducing legislation to implement term limits on Federal District Court Judges. These restrictions will set a precedence for courts at the state and local levels, including District 6.
- The winter storm coupled with the pandemic has left all District 6 residents in a difficult financial place. Oil and Gas Companies also played a part in Texas’ energy failure that left thousands of District 6 residents without power. As a candidate I call on those companies to assist in impactful relief efforts to District 6 residents as well as all Texans. The oil and gas industry has sponsored some of the most successful political campaigns of both democrats and republicans, so I believe that a bipartisan relief plan can be accomplished to assist District 6 and all Texas residents. In addition, given the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s Fair Access Banking Rule, job opportunities can be created in it is implemented correctly
