Leah G. Cole Allen (born October 15, 1988)[1] is an American politician who served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives and was the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts in the 2022 Massachusetts gubernatorial election.

State representative

[edit]

Allen was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 2013. A first time candidate, she defeated Democrat Beverley Griffin Dunne 35% to 34% in a special election to fill the 12th Essex District seat that had been vacant since the death of Joyce Spiliotis the previous November.[2] She was reelected in 2014 and remained in the House until September 28, 2015, when she resigned to focus on her nursing career.[3]

2022 campaign for Lieutenant Governor

[edit]

Allen lost her nursing job at Beverly Hospital for not complying with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.[4] Allen then entered the 2022 election for Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts as the running mate of Geoff Diehl.[5] She defeated Kate Campanale in the primary election to win the Republican nomination.[6] Allen and Diehl lost the general election to Democrats Maura Healey and Kim Driscoll.[7]

Personal life

She was born in Lynn, Massachusetts.[8]
