David Carlucci (born April 3, 1981) is an American politician in Rockland County, New York. A member of the Democratic Party, he is the Senator for the 38th district, which includes most of Rockland County and parts of Westchester County. Carlucci was one of the youngest senators elected to the New York State Senate in 2010 at just 29-years-old. Carlucci now serves as Chair of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Committee and has distinguished himself as a lawmaker who delivers results, having passed more than 130 bills signed into New York State law.
In 2019, Carlucci passed 36 bills signed into law, the most of any New York State senator.
In October of 2019, Carlucci announced his bid for the United States House of Representatives for New York's 17th Congressional District.
Early life and education
Carlucci was born in Clarkstown, New York on April 3, 1981 and was raised in Rockland County. He attended Clarkstown High School North and ran track.
After graduating, he enrolled at Rockland Community College and graduated in 2000. He went on to attend Cornell University and graduated in 2002, with a B.S. in Industrial and Labor Relations.
Carlucci worked as a financial planner for American Express from 2002 to 2003, and decided he wanted to enter public service.
Early political career and family life
In 2003, Carlucci made his first political run for the office of Town Clerk in the Town of Clarkstown. Carlucci lost to the 28-year incumbent, Republican Clerk Patricia Sheridan.
Carlucci was hired as a staff assistant in Congressman Eliot Engel's office and worked there from 2004 to 2005.
In 2006, he ran against Sheridan again for Town Clerk in Clarkstown. He focused on changing the hours of the Town Clerk's Office so it would be open in the evenings and on weekends, and he promised to make documents available online. This time, he defeated Sheridan by 294 votes, and he was just 24-years-old.
In May of 2010, Carlucci announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for New York State Senate in District 38. That same month incumbent, Republican Thomas Morahan announced he would not be seeking re-election. Morahan who was 78-years-old was seeking treatment for Leukimia.
In June of 2010, Rockland republicans nominated then Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef over Rockland County Legislator Ed Day, as the GOP's candidate to take on Carlucci.
Carlucci defeated Vanderhoef and won 53 percent of the vote.He was one of the youngest senators elected to the New York State Senate at just 29-years-old.
On January 15, 2011, Carlucci married his high school sweetheart and girlfriend, Lauren Grossberg. They were married at a ceremony on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. Grossberg is a Rockland County native and an elementary school teacher. The pair met in high school on the track team.
They now have two children.
New York Senate
In January of 2011, Senator Carlucci took office in the New York State Senate, picking up a seat that had not been held by a Democrat since 1984.
Carlucci went on to win four more general elections against republican opponents. He also defeated a democratic primary challenger in 2018.
Carlucci is in his 5th term of of office.
Legislation
Senator Carlucci has passed more than 130 bills that were signed into law since 2011. He supported and helped pass same-sex marriage, the SAFE Act, Raise the Age of criminal responsibility, a $15 minimum wage plan, and the nation’s strongest Paid Family Leave policy.
Carlucci sponsored a bill that made national headlines and helped increase organ donation across New York State. Lauren's Law, which was passed and signed into law in 2010, requires individuals who apply for a driver’s license to complete the organ donor registry section of the application by selecting either “yes” or “skip this question.” Previously, the section had been optional for prospective drivers to fill out.
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.
U.S. House of Representatives bid
In October 2019, Carlucci announced his bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. In his announcement video, Carlucci praised Congresswoman Nita Lowey for being a trailblazer and fighting for Hudson Valley residents. Lowey announced her retirement after 31 years in office.
Carlucci went on to explain why he is the best candidate for the job, citing his 9 years of experience in the New York State Senate where he represents Rockland and Westchester County residents. After Carlucci announced his run, he told the Journal News that he has "the experience, work ethic, energy to get the job done. For me, public service isn’t just a job or career: it’s my life."
Carlucci has cited his nation-leading legislation that became law, including a ban on the salary history question, protections for veterans from pension poaching, automatic voter registration transfers, and allowing domestic violence survivors to report an incident to any law enforcement agency in the State, regardless of where it happened.
Carlucci said that as a Member of Congress, he will be focused on fighting for affordability for the hardworking families of Westchester and Rockland County, as well as focusing on education, climate change, gun reforms, women’s rights, and comprehensive immigration reform to repair the harm done by President Trump.
Carlucci has been endorsed so far by labor heavyweights, Local Laborers 754, Rockland County Building and Construction Trades Council (RCBCTC), IBEW Local Union 363, Teamsters Local 445, and Local 825 Operating Engineers.
