Mary Allen
As a city councilor in 2024, Allen was the original sponsor of a symbolic Gaza ceasefire resolution: "I wanted to show that we are a city of compassion." Nothing located has her addressing U.S. weapons or aid as funding questions; she has signed a no-PAC-money pledge.
Allen is the Democratic nominee in Indiana’s 8th District, an Evansville city councilor and Army Reserve veteran.
Her one located act is municipal and symbolic: in spring 2024 she was the original sponsor of a Veterans for Peace ceasefire resolution at the Evansville City Council, telling public radio: "When Veterans for Peace approached me with the resolution I did agree to sponsor because I wanted to show that we are a city of compassion." The resolution never reached a vote for lack of co-sponsors. A ceasefire resolution is a war-conduct position, not an aid position, and this card keeps the two distinct.
As a congressional candidate she is one of 83 signers of a no-PAC-money pledge, which is general and names no organization. Nothing located has her addressing U.S. military aid, weapons transfers, or aid to Palestinians as funding questions.
