Timeline
Charles Allen (born 1977) is an American Democratic politician in Washington, D.C., and member of the Council of the District of Columbia representing Ward 6.
Allen was hired as director of public policy for the District of Columbia Primary Care Association in 2003.
The following year, Allen served as the Ward 6 coordinator for Howard Dean's presidential campaign.
He was a delegate for Dean at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
As chairman of the grass roots Democratic organization D.C. for Democracy, Allen sent hundreds of District residents to other states to campaign.
Allen resigned from the District of Columbia Primary Care Association to manage Tommy Wells' campaign for the Ward 6 seat on the Council of the District of Columbia in 2006.
After Wells won the election, Wells hired Allen as his chief of staff.
Allen was president of the Ward 6 Democrats from 2009 to 2013.
While president, the group voted to urge the Council of the District of Columbia to pass a law legalizing same-sex marriage.
In 2012, the D.C. Democratic State Committee chose the person to replace Phil Mendelson as at-large council member for 70 days before a special election was held.
Allen was opposed to the process, saying that only the voters should choose the replacement for an at-large vacancy, not a small group of party committee members.
Allen was the chief of staff of Ward 6 Council Member Tommy Wells.
After Wells decided not to run for reelection in order to run for mayor, Allen resigned from his position and announced his candidacy to succeed Wells seat in the Council representing Ward 6.
Darrel Thompson, a former deputy chief of staff of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, also ran in the Democratic primary.
Pranav Badhwar ran in the Libertarian primary.
When campaigning, Allen emphasized his work helping Ward 6 working for Wells, saying that gave him extensive knowledge and experience about Ward 6.
Allen opposed the Large Retailer Accountability Act, which would have increased the minimum wage for large businesses located in the District, preferring instead an across-the-board minimum wage increase as opposed to a bill that only targeted large retailers.
Allen also did not access donations to his campaign from corporations.
Allen also criticized Thompson, saying Thompson's work has kept him focused on Nevada rather than the District, using the fact that Thompson has not voted in several District elections to make his case.
Thompson responded saying that he knew the District well because he was born in the District, unlike Allen.
Thompson called Allen the "anointed candidate", a reference to Wells' choosing his own successor and labeling Allen as a political insider.
Thompson also says that Allen is effectively asking for more time to carry out Wells' agenda that should have been completed during Wells' eight years on the Council.
Allen was endorsed by the editorial board of The Washington Post, Service Employees International Union, D.C. for Democracy, D.C. Chamber of Commerce PAC, the D.C. Chapter of the National Organization for Women, the D.C. Association of Realtors, Clean Slate Now,
the local firefighters' union, and the local police officers' union.
The local American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees endorsed Thompson.
Allen and his treasurer Patrick Johnson opted for a campaign finance model that did not accept corporate donations.
This was consistent with Allen's championing of campaign finance reform, having been a supporter of DC's Initiative 70 in 2012.
