Priscilla Dunn (born October 8, 1943) is an American politician who was a member of the Alabama Senate from 2009 to 2022 as a member of the Democratic Party.[1]

Personal life[edit]

Dunn is married to her husband, Grover, and has one daughter, Karen. She received her Bachelor of Science from Alabama State University and her Master of Arts from the University of Montevallo.[2]

Legislative career[edit]

From 1998 until 2009 she was a member of the Alabama House of Representatives. Dunn has been a member of the Alabama Senate since a special election was called in 2009. In April 2015 work in the Senate slowed due to a resolution opposing efforts to expand Medicaid.[3] In August 2015 a Senate committee which Dunn was a part of put a ban on selling tissue from aborted fetuses. Dunn cast the sole vote against the ban.[4]
