Biographical
California State Assemblymember Eugene "Gene" Mullin (1937-2021) was born and raised in San Francisco. He graduated with a
Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of San Francisco in 1960 and, in 1967, received his Lifetime Secondary
Teaching Credentials. He later went on to attain graduate studies at Santa Clara University, San Francisco State, and the
College of Notre Dame.
Between 1959 - 1960, he served in the United States Army with the Judge Advocate General's Corps.
In 1967, Mullin moved with his wife Terri Mullin née Carrick (1936-2017) to the South San Francisco Buri Buri area where they
raised their two children Jennifer, (1967 - ) and Kevin (1970 - ). Mullin worked at South San Francisco High School as a government
teacher for 32 years from 1967 - 1999. He also served as President of the South San Francisco Classroom Teachers Association
from 1992 - 1995 and coached basketball. During his tenure as a teacher, Mullin received several notable awards, including
the San Mateo County 1991 Teacher of the Year, the 1996 State Teacher of the Year in Politics, and the 1996 Excellence in
Teaching Award.
He also authored and co-authored educational materials, including the Picture Yourself in Local Government textbook, the Participating
in Local Government cirriculum, and 15 educational videos for Stanford University.
Mullin lead an active public service life. He was appointed to the South San Francisco Planning Commission from 1972 to 1980
and then the South San Francisco Historical Preservation Committee from 1986 to 1992. In 1995, Mullin was elected to the South
San Francisco City Council where he served consecutively until 2002, and was chosen as Mayor for two one-year terms, in 1997-1998
and 2001-2002. While he sat on the Council, he helped usher in the creation of the South San Francisco Community Learning
Center; saved the South San Francisco Children's Center; added child care centers to new developments; passing legislation
to encourage more mass transit; and, initiated and passed the highest attainable housing requirement in the region at that
time.
In 2002, Gene Mullin was elected to the California State Assembly for the 19th district, and served three terms until 2008.
He stood on seven primary legislative goals: improving public education through more local control, better pay to recruit
and retain teachers, and upgraded facilities; better family services rooted in community needs; smart growth incorporating
housing at transportation centers and preservation of open space; providing attainable housing through regional planning to
meet community needs; finding solutions to airport noise, air pollution, and congestion; a personal privacy bill that protects
consumers' private financial information; and community security through funding police and fire services.
Mullin continued to live in South San Francisco until his death on April 5, 2021.
