Our Team

As Executive Director of the American Property Owners Alliance, Colin Allen sees his mission as helping educate property owners about federal issues and policies that affect them as homeowners, and making sure their voices are heard in the halls of Congress as they advocate for policies that create opportunity, build family wealth and protect their most significant investment – their home.

Property ownership is one of the best ways to build wealth, strengthen communities and support our national economy. For nearly two decades, Colin has played a central role in development and advocacy campaigns supporting homeownership and housing policy. Prior to taking the helm of the Alliance, Colin served as the Director of Government Advocacy and Political Strategy at The National Association of REALTORS.

He also brings years of legislative experience in the United States Senate, advising South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham on key domestic policy issues including tax, budget, and housing. His deep expertise in Senate rules and procedure was instrumental in guiding multiple budgets through the legislative process and passed by the Senate.
