Allen was born in Whittier, California, on March 8, 1952. George Herbert Allen, Allen's father, was a National Football League (NFL) coach who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002. Allen's mother, Henrietta Lumbroso, was born in Tunisia to Sephardic Jewish parents. Allen referred to his mother as "French-Italian, with a little Spanish blood in her." Jennifer Allen, a younger sister and reporter for NFL Network, and two brothers, including Bruce Allen, a former NFL team executive, live in Los Angeles. He and his family lived there until 1957. They migrated to Chicago after George Sr. was hired with the Chicago Bears. After Allen's father was named head coach of the Los Angeles Rams in 1966, the family returned to Palos Verdes in Southern California.
Allen graduated from Palos Verdes High School in 1970, where he was a member of the falconry club and the auto club. He was also the quarterback of the varsity football team. He then attended the University of California, Los Angeles, for a year. Allen's father had in the meanwhile taken over the head coaching duties with the Washington Redskins in 1970, and the younger Allen enrolled in 1971, where he earned a B.A. In 1974, a degree with distinction in history. He was class president in his fourth year at UVA and played on the UVA football and rugby teams.
Allen earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1977 after graduating. He was the chairman of the "Young Virginians for Ronald Reagan" in 1976. He served as a law clerk for Judge Glen Morgan Williams of the Western District of Virginia, out of law school.
Post-Senate career (2007–present)
Allen had visited Iowa (the first state with a presidential caucus) and New Hampshire (the first state to host a presidential primary) prior to his loss to Webb in the November 2006 senatorial election. He had been widely believed to be planning for a bid for president.
Allen was the front runner for the Republican nomination in 2008 in a poll of 175 Washington insiders conducted by National Journal in April 2005. Allen had fallen to second place in a National Journal insider poll in May 2006, and John McCain led Allen by a three-to-one advantage over Allen.
Allen was widely assumed not a viable candidate for the Republican nomination following the 2006 election, primarily because of the events that sparked his double-digit lead in the polls to fall short of the Republicans' loss of control of the Senate.
Allen said in an interview on December 10, 2006, that he did not apply for the 2008 nomination.
Allen was one of three national co-chairs for the 2008 presidential campaign in October 2007. Allen didn't hesitate to speculate about his political destiny this month.
Allen said not only that he had made no decisions but that "Susan and I have listened to a lot of people encouraging us to do so." Allen said on January 8, 2008, he would not run for governor in 2009, but later left open the possibility of challenging Democratic Senator Senator Webb in 2012.
Allen was named a Reagan Scholar with Young America's Foundation in March 2007. He is also the President of George Allen Strategies, a lobbying and consultancy firm based in Alexandria, Virginia, where he has been based since July 2007. He was paid $347,000 by the firm between January 2010 and August 2011.
Allen founded the American Energy Freedom Center, a non-profit conservative think tank that is part of the Institute for Energy Research in 2009. In 2010, he was paid $20,000 to be the center's chairman; he ceased his employment with the group in December of that year.
Allen's first book, What Washington Can Learn From the World of Sports, was published in May 2010, in which he drew comparisons and comparisons between two of the country's favorite interests. Allen said that the government must look no farther than the football field, baseball diamond, or basketball court to solve today's pressing issues because, in sports, teamwork is vital, cheating is frowned upon, and the rules do not change.
Allen declared on January 24, 2011, via a video on his campaign website, that he wanted to reclaim Senator Jim Webb's seat in the Senate, having deposed him in November 2006. Allen received the nomination with more than 65% of the vote in June's Republican primary, defeating Jamie Radtke (23%), Robert G. Marshall (7%) and E.W. Jackson (5%).
Webb said in February 2011 that he did not seek re-election. Allen defeated former Virginia governor Tim Kaine in the general election in November 2012 and lost by a 53–47 margin.
