| Info | Gene Kelly is a retired U.S. Air Force officer and Attorney. Born on April 2, 1926 in New York City, Kelly later moved to Universal City, Texas where he's lived ever since. While Universal City is Kelly's hometown, he has left it for large chunks of timeto serve his country and further his education.
Mr. Kelly completed a JD from the University of Georgia Law School in 1951 and has practiced law for the entire half century since. As an Air Force Colonel, Gene Kelly served as a Judge Advocate General or "JAG" from 1951 to 1979. This position - while not always as glamorous as the television series of the same name - gave him a real, working knowledge of military affairs.
Prior to his service in the air, Colonel Kelly served as a Tech 4 in the U.S. Army from 1944 to 1947.
Gene Kelly has run for statewide office six times since 1990, when he came in a close second in the race for a seat on the Texas Supreme Court. Kelly, who shares a name with the movie actor and dancer, also has made other bids for the Supreme Court, the Court of Criminal Appeals, attorney general and U.S. Senate - running in the 1993 special election ultimately won by Mrs. Hutchison.
"As time goes on and your name becomes more and more known and your reputation for honesty, integrity and freedom from improper influence becomes more and more fixed in the minds of the people, you will stand a much better chance of being elected," Kelly told the Austin American-Statesman. "I'm running for the United States Senate because I'm best qualified to be senator, and that's what I plan to be."
Gene Kelly and his wife Ingrid have four children and still live in the San Antonio suburb of Universal City, Texas.
