Donna Bullock (born October 15, 1978) is an American politician. She is a former Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, representing the 195th district in Philadelphia from 2015 to 2024.

Early life and education

[edit]

Bullock was born on October 15, 1978, in New Brunswick, New Jersey.[4] Growing up, Bullock faced housing instability, moving from house to house before her mother secured a housing voucher.[5] She graduated from New Brunswick High School in 1996.[6] Bullock earned a bachelor of science degree in administration of justice from Rutgers University in 2000 and a juris doctor degree from Temple University's Beasley School of Law in 2003.[4][6]

Career

[edit]

Bullock was first elected to represent the 195th district in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in an August 2015 special election,[4] defeating Republican candidate Adam Lang.[7] She previously served as a senior staffer to the Philadelphia City Council.[4]

From 2021 to 2023, Bullock chaired the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus.[5] She also chaired the House Committee on Children and Youth and the House Ethics Committee during the 2023-2024 legislative session.[8]

In 2024, Bullock became the CEO for Project Home, a Philadelphia-based non-profit that focuses on providing housing for unhomed populations, replacing former Executive Director Mary Scullion and Associate Executive Director Joan Dawson McConnon.[9][10] She resigned from the Pennsylvania House in July 2024.[11]
