Richard Wayne Allen (born November 7, 1951) is an American businessman and Republican U.S. Representative serving Georgia's 12th Congressional District since January 2015. Before entering politics, Allen founded R.W. Allen & Associates, an Augusta-based construction company, in 1976 after earning his degree from Auburn University. He built the firm over nearly four decades into a major regional employer. Allen first ran for Congress in 2012 but lost in the Republican primary runoff. He won in 2014, defeating eight-term incumbent Democrat John Barrow with 54.7% of the vote. In the 119th Congress, Allen serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, where he is Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, and the House Education and the Workforce Committee.
