Hi! My name is Chauntyll Allen, I’ve lived in Ward 4 for 23 years and have personally experienced many of the most pressing issues our city is facing. From my family’s displacement from Rondo to seeing my former students on the streets to difficulty finding affordable housing for me and my wife, I know what fellow residents are facing because I live it everyday. 

I’ve been in classrooms as an educator and on the streets as an organizer and have deep trust and broad connections to the communities who have been disconnected from political power and local politics. I recognize how these community members are not problems to be solved but people with the knowledge to effectively solve the challenges we face collectively.

Because of my personal experience and community connection, I can see the system-level solutions we need to address key issues, and I have the diverse relationships and proven leadership to work across sectors and jurisdictions to get the results that Ward 4—and all Saint Paul—residents need.
