David Carlucci (born April 3, 1981) is a member of the New York State Senate representing the 38th district, which includes most of Rockland County and parts of Westchester County. A Democrat, Carlucci was a member of the state's Independent Democratic Conference from its formation in 2011 until its 2018 dissolution. In October 2019, Carlucci announced that he was running for New York's 17th congressional district in the 2020 elections, according to Nita Lowey’s retirement, and is competing against David Buchwald, New York’s 93rd District Assemblyman.
Background
Carlucci was born in Clarkstown, New York on April 3, 1981 and raised in Rockland County. He graduated from Clarkstown High School North. He graduated from Rockland Community College in 2000 and Cornell University in 2002, with a B.S. in Industrial and Labor Relations.
After graduating from Cornell, Carlucci worked as a financial planner for American Express from 2002 to 2003 and later worked in Congressman Eliot Engel's office as a staff assistant from 2004 to 2005 when he was elected as town clerk for the community of Clarkstown.
New York Senate
In 2010, Carlucci announced that he would run for the state Senate against incumbent Republican Senator Thomas Morahan. However, a few months prior to the 2010 general elections, Morahan died. Facing a replacement Republican on the ballot, Carlucci beat out Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef 53% to 47%. He has never faced another credible general election challenger.
On January 5, 2011, David Carlucci entered into the Senate and formed the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC), with three other Democratic senators, Jeffrey D. Klein, Diane Savino, and David J. Valesky. The formation of the IDC created a third legislative conference in the State Senate. The senators said the IDC would "push for commonsense solutions to the problems facing New York State, break the hyper-partisan gridlock that has gripped the Senate and work to restore the public's trust in its public officials." In 2013, the IDC and the Senate Republicans announced a majority coalition agreement.
In April 2018, the IDC was dissolved and Carlucci joined the Senate Democratic Conference. In the 2018 Democratic Primary, Carlucci defeated Julie Goldberg by a 54% to 46% margin, becoming one of only two former IDC members, along with Diane Savino, to defeat primary challengers.
Legislation
Carlucci sponsored a bill that was signed into law in 2012 that requires all New York State drivers to decide whether to become organ donors on the driver’s license application instead of opting out by default. Lauren’s Law is named for Lauren Shields of Rockland County, who received a heart transplant when she was nine years old.
In 2013 Carlucci sponsored a bill that was signed into law called Jobs for Heroes, which gives a tax credit to businesses for hiring returning veterans. Carlucci worked with his colleagues to expand the Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC), which provides discount drugs for senior citizens. The expansion allows for an increase in number of senior citizens living in New York who will qualify for the program. The expansions passed in early 2014.
In June 2014, Carlucci’s bill to create a relapse prevention program to combat heroin addiction in New York State became a law. The program provides educational legal, financial, social, family, and childcare services, in addition to peer-to-peer support groups, employment support, and transportation assistance, for recovering addicts.
The Daily Show
In the summer of 2011, Carlucci was the subject of a segment on The Daily Show entitled "Corn-Hold." This came at a time when the debate over the legalization of same-sex marriage was raging. Carlucci was, at the time, insisting on the importance of having a state vegetable for New York.
Planned Parenthood mailer controversy
In June 2017, several members of the IDC, including Carlucci, sent a pro-choice mailer to their constituents that, according to Planned Parenthood, “misleads constituents by implying electoral support from Planned Parenthood.” The mailer used the Planned Parenthood logo and read "Supported by Planned Parenthood" on the front. In a letter to the IDC, Planned Parenthood stated that they had not made any endorsements and misuse of their logo "undermines confidence and integrity in this endorsement process." The mailer also touted Carlucci's support of two major pieces of pro-choice legislation, the Reproductive Health Act and the Comprehensive Contraception Coverage Act, while referring to both bills by the wrong names. A spokesperson for the IDC said in a statement: "Constituents have a right to know where their senators stand on women's health issues and this is what the IDC communicated to voters. Every member of the IDC supports women's health rights and universally stand at the ready to pass these vital issues."
Personal life
Carlucci is married to Lauren Grossberg Carlucci. The two had their first child in 2013. He lives in the Town of Clarkstown, New York.
