Mike Allen for Cincinnati City Council

“Crime remains the most important issue facing our community. My experience as a judge, police officer, prosecutor and criminal defense attorney will allow me to tackle this issue in a way that finally works for Cincinnati.”

Mike Allen has dedicated his adult life to serving Cincinnati.

  • Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge
  • Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney
  • University of Cincinnati/City of Cincinnati Police Officer
  • University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees
  • United States Army Reserve, Judge Advocate General's Corps, Captain

Crime is the most important issue facing Cincinnati. Mike Allen has participated in every facet of the criminal justice system. From his years as a police officer, judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney, Mike will bring solutions that will keep Cincinnati safe.

Mike Allen also recognizes the financial realities facing Cincinnati. As someone who has balanced a government budget before, Mike knows the key to balancing the books is focusing resources on our core needs. The current council's record of continuing shortfalls shows that real leadership, and not the continuous denial of the Cincinnati's dire financial straits, is needed at City Hall.
