Early life and education

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]
