Representative Bullock Advocates for Legislation That Matters
Economic Opportunity and Security
Everyone should be able to financially provide for their families. That is why Representative Bullock has sponsored and co-sponsored bills that will raise the minimum wage, alleviate gender wage disparity, and expunge the criminal records of non-violent offenders, and thereby increasing their chances for employment.
Our Children
As a mother, Representative Bullock’s number one priority is our children and youth. In Harrisburg, she has worked to secure millions in funding for child care and pre-k education, school safety grants, and the improvement of school facilities and recreation centers across the state. In response to high rates of asthma and lead poisoning among our children, she has also become a leading advocate for clean air, clean water, and environmental justice. She has also led legislative initiatives to prohibit school lunch shaming, establish an anti-bullying curriculum in schools, support homeless children and youth, and modernize the WIC (Women, Infant and Children) Nutrition Program.
Strong and Safe Neighborhoods
Many of our neighborhoods are turning around and we must work together to ensure that all residents are a part of this success. We must also address quality of life issues in our neighborhoods. Representative Bullock has sponsored legislation to support small businesses and commercial corridors, increase fines for illegal dumping, address nuisance take-out beer establishments, and encourage community policing. She continues to partner with local officials, community organizations and residents to find innovative ways to eliminate blight in our neighborhoods, support growth, secure long-term residents and welcome new neighbors.
Representative Bullock Engages Constituents
Representative Bullock believes in an “office without walls” that serves all neighborhoods of the 195th Legislative District. She regularly makes herself accessible to constituents, attending community meetings and events throughout the District and keeping residents informed through emails, phone calls, social media and traditional print media. Representative Bullock held dozens of “pop-up” offices and other constituent events throughout the District, including the annual Girard Avenue Street Festival and the Senior Spring Fling Luncheon. Through organized public awareness campaigns and outreach efforts, her office collaborates with community partners to distribute diapers and wipes, used books, food, school supplies and other resources to families in need.
Representative Bullock Brings Resources to the District
Since her first day in office, Representative Donna Bullock stood firm with her fellow Democrats for a budget that adequately funds our schools and human services, and isn’t balanced on the backs of working families.
Representative Bullock has worked to bring resources back to Philadelphia, and specifically to the 195th District. Since she has been in office, state agencies have invested more than $30 million in affordable housing, greening initiatives, economic development and other capital projects throughout our neighborhoods. She also worked with her colleagues to bring millions of additional dollars to Philadelphia Schools, gun violence prevention programs, and arts and cultural institutions.
