Barry Allen grew up in Central City, the son of a dedicated single mother and a father he never stopped looking for. A brilliant forensic scientist by training, Barry has spent his adult life using science and technology to protect and serve communities. After a career solving crimes in the forensic lab — and saving lives as "The Flash" — Barry is running for President to bring fast, evidence-based solutions to national problems.
Barry is married to Iris West-Allen, an award-winning journalist. They have a blended family of chosen family and close friends who have supported him through personal and public challenges.
Barry’s experience at the intersection of science, public safety, and community service shapes a platform focused on innovation, equity, and resilience. He combines the empathy of a public servant with the urgency of a first responder.
