John Chris Ullo (March 16, 1928 – January 16, 2014) was a businessman from suburban Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, who served in both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature from 1972, when he entered the House of Representatives until he was term-limited from the District 8 seat in the State Senate in 2008. He represented West Jefferson Parish from Terrytown to Grand Isle.
A native and lifelong resident of Marrero on the West Bank of the Mississippi River, Ullo was the son of Mike Ullo and the former Carolina Drago. He graduated from Marrero High School and procured a certificate in mechanical drawing from Tulane University in New Orleans. Ullo was considered a legislative champion of economic growth, education, and anti-crime legislation. He was instrumental in the passage of the law which designates revenues derived from gambling to underwrite a statewide computer fingerprint system to track criminals. He worked to expand programs of vocational education and to increase the pay of public school teachers.
