Jean Fuller Biography
Jean Fuller was born and raised in Kern County. She served as an educator in the Central Valley for more than 30 years, including time as Superintendent of the Bakersfield City School District.
The first in her family to graduate from college, Jean attended Bakersfield College, California State University Fresno and California State University Los Angeles, and then continued her formal education at the University of California, Santa Barbara where she received her PhD. She supplemented her education with coursework and seminars at the University of Southern California, Harvard University, and Exeter College at Oxford University.
Senator Fuller was reelected to Senate in 2014 and represents the 16th Senate District. She has been a member of the California Legislature since her election to the 32nd Assembly District in 2006. Jean and her husband, Russell, a retired engineer, live in Bakersfield.
While leading the Bakersfield City School District, Jean was recognized as the California Superintendent of the Year by the American Association of School Administrators.
During her tenure in the Assembly, Jean served as the leader of the Republican Water Policy Team that focused on finding solutions to California's water crisis to ensure sufficient water supplies for families, farmers, and businesses in the Central Valley. She also served as Chair of the Rural Caucus, a bipartisan group of 43 Assembly Members and Senators who provided a strong, united voice for residents of rural communities.
Jean’s top legislative priorities in the Assembly were expanding career technical education programs for high school students, increasing local jobs, reducing unnecessary regulation of California's small business and manufacturers, and reducing the tax burden on hard-working families.
Recently, Jean has been recognized in the Senate as the California Communications Association (CalCom) Legislator of the Year. She has also received high scores annually from both the California Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business groups.
