He also Co-Sponsored & Passed into law many bills such as INTRO 142 Prohibiting the use of racial & ethic profiling.

ALLAN JENNINGS is a hard worker. While he was in the City Council his district office was open from 9:00am-7:00pm. Everybody knows he always returned your phone calls and personally sent you a letter. If you had a problem you could always count on Allan Jennings to do his best to help you.

We need Allan Jennings back! To be our full-time Councilman and give us the representation and service we deserve.
