About Allison
Allison’s story starts right here in House District 108
Allison Mitchell is an experienced and successful entrepreneur and children's book author with deep ties to House District 108. A proud Texan and native Dallasite, she graduated from The Hockaday School and launched and built a successful namesake line of women’s accessories. Allison credits her Dallas community with giving her business its solid start — from early mentorship to ongoing support.
Her passion for creativity and storytelling also led her to write and publish her first children's book that celebrates diversity, resilience, and the power of kindness — values that mirror her vision for Texas.
Allison knows that people are what drive progress — not broken policies or partisan gridlock. She believes that the best way to serve constituents is by listening first and leading with empathy. That means focusing on policy and legislation that meets the basic needs of every Texan: affordable healthcare, fully funded public schools, safe neighborhoods, and economic opportunity for all.
She’s committed to building a future where families can thrive, small businesses can flourish, and every child — regardless of zip code — has a fair shot at success. Allison’s approach is rooted in common sense, collaboration, and a deep love for the community that raised her and where she is proudly raising her family.
Allison is an avid volunteer with organizations that serve intellectually disabled children and adults. Though she has always felt called to serve these special people, it wasn’t until after the birth of her two children, who were both born with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and experienced severe speech delays – her son in particular, who is nonspeaking – that she saw her connection to the disability community come full circle. As DISD parents, Allison and her husband, Ryan, are staunch advocates for excellent public education, regardless of socioeconomic position or support needs.
When Allison is not volunteering and advocating, she is busy with the filming of her documentary about disability inclusion, watercolor painting, gardening in her organic vegetable garden, cooking for her family and friends, and being a mom to her two young children.
