Though Allison was born and raised in Texas, she spent more than a decade in Washington D.C. before moving back to Grand Prairie a couple of years ago. She brings her experience under the Obama Administration as a senior attorney and a federal prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Justice to the table. Several Federal District Courts, the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. are just a few of the other p
