Allyson would be a strong woman leader with the fresh views needed to be champion for women in Pennsylvania. She is also a first-generation American, born to a Holocaust survivor and a Korean War veteran. For years, Allyson has been the only woman in Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation. If elected, she would become Pennsylvania’s first woman governor. Currently, there is only one woman Governor in the country who supports reproductive choices and options, New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan. Allyson's election would break another important glass ceiling that is often overlooked.

Governor – Pennsylvania – Challenger. Governor Corbett has consistently presented legislation placing restrictions on women’s health clinics and mandatory ultrasounds to tighten the already strict reproductive health laws in Pennsylvania.

Allyson first ran for Congress in 2004, when she was first endorsed by WCF.

She is currently serving her 5th term in the U.S. House of Representatives, where she is the only woman in the Pennsylvania delegation.

She was the third woman to ever serve in the Pennsylvania Senate. Recognized as a “trailblazer” by the Philadelphia Daily News, Allyson has produced positive results for Pennsylvania during her nearly 30 years of public service.
