Allen Golden Rushlight (February 26, 1874 – January 6, 1930) was an American politician and businessman, in the U.S. state of Oregon.

[3] Later that year, he was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives, but declined to serve, instead remaining on the city council.

He sometimes used his plumbing background to personally inspect engineering projects and once climbed into the city crematory to diagnose a problem, which, when repaired for a few dollars, doubled its capacity.

Oregon governor Oswald West pressured Rushlight to clean up the city, and some reforms were made.

[10] [11] After leaving office, Rushlight continued to build his plumbing business, which grew to handle some of the largest contracts in the Northwest.
