Doris Allen served in the California Assembly from 1982 to 1995 and as Speaker of that body from June 5 to September 14, 1995, before being recalled from office by irate constituents. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Allen was a Republican, but when Republicans gained a one-vote majority in 1995, threatening longtime Democratic Speaker Willie Brown's hold on power, Brown convinced Allen and another Republican, Brian Setencich, to vote with the Democrats.
