2nd Term Peoria City Councilman District 4 2021-Present Leading with purpose. Serving with heart. Building a stronger Peoria every 🇺🇸

[Andre.W.Allen @309Allen]

What an incredible journey—thank you to the residents of District 4 and the entire Peoria community for your continued trust and support!

This re-election is a testament to what we can accomplish together. I’m honored to serve and excited for what the next four years will bring.

Very common, and I think it will become even more common moving forward 😫. Many large cities are financially stretched, landlocked, and often unable to offer the same tax incentives or development opportunities that suburban communities can provide.

Statement from Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren:

Let’s just say they reminded me that Father Time is undefeated. 😂🏀

In my defense, I was wearing a dress shirt and dress shoes. Had I been in hoop shorts and sneakers, it would’ve been a completely different story… at least that’s what I’m telling myself. 😅

I’m not a Knicks fan, but it would be great for the league and the storyline if/when they make the Finals.

Today, we celebrate and usher in a new era of leadership as we swear in Brad Dixon as the new Chief of the Peoria Police Department.

As a proud Peorian and career officer within PPD, Chief Dixon understands our community, and I look forward to his leadership.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓 Seems like just yesterday I was at @eiu . Enjoy this moment — you’ve earned it. And remember, your preparation has prepared you for every room you’re destined to walk into, and that room was incomplete before you arrived. 🎓🙌🏽

[Andre.W.Allen @309Allen]

The Boston Celtics overachieved this year—no need to overreact. Stay the course, let Jayson Tatum get his mind and body right, and come back stronger next season.

Spring Break is in full effect! We enjoyed taking our kids to the Peoria Park District Bays at the Learning Center. This newly renovated venue is a game changer for our community and definitely the place to be!

I feel for Cayden, but that was a team loss. Duke was in the driver’s seat the entire game—they shouldn’t have even been in that situation.

“I need you to lock in… I believe in you but you got to want this moment.“

Coach: Eye contact, reaffirming confidence while giving criticism

Player: Eye contact, listening, responding

This is some good coaching and credit to the player being coachable!

Partisan politics creates gridlock that too many families simply can’t afford.

[Andre.W.Allen @309Allen]

Our constituents care about the basics—grocery prices, gas costs, road conditions, and reliable trash pickup. That’s where our focus should be.
