She was first elected to the Arizona House in November 1992, where she represented District 28. She was subsequently re-elected three times to the House, always representing District 29. After serving four terms in the House, the Arizona Constitution prevented Allen from running for a fifth term. She ran for the Arizona Senate in 2002 in District 8, which was new due to redistricting in the state. She won the election and won re-election 3 more times to serve as the State Senator from District 8.
