New York Senate
editDomestic Terrorism
editFollowing the Monsey Hanukkah stabbing in December 2019 which came amid a state-wide and national increase in anti-Semitic crimes and incidents, Senator Carlucci collaborated with former Governor Andrew Cuomo to draft a bill to create a formal state statute against domestic terrorism. Together, they passed the "Josef Neumann Hate Crimes Domestic Terrorism Act of 2020" named after one of the victims of the stabbing. The bill was implemented into New York State law through the 2020 budget and exists as the first domestic terrorism law in the nation. The assailant of the 2022 Buffalo shooting, who shot and killed 10 Black people in a supermarket, was the first individual to be charged under the domestic terrorism statute.[9]
Elections
editIn May 2010, Carlucci announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for New York State Senate in District 38.[10] 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 Leukemia.[11] In June 2010, Rockland republicans nominated then Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef over Rockland County Legislator Ed Day, as the Republican nominee.[12] Carlucci defeated Vanderhoef and won 53 percent of the vote, picking up a seat that had not been held by a Democrat since 1984.[13] He was one of the youngest senators elected to the New York State Senate at just 29-years-old.[14]
Carlucci went on to win four more general elections.[15][16] He also defeated a primary challenger, Julie Goldberg, in 2018. All of his former IDC colleagues faced similar primary challenges and most were defeated.[17]

David Carlucci Co-sponsored legislation to redesign the handicap logo after 45 years.

The Mental Illness Anti-Stigma Fund will support critical programs to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health issues and received funding from a tax check-off box which appeared on state income tax forms. Carlucci declared “The signing of this bill into law is the first step to eliminating the stigma of mental illness from our society, New Yorkers can now directly help end the stigma by making a donation that will fund mental health public awareness campaigns across the state."[26]
David Carlucci sponsored legislation making the heroin - overdose antidote Naloxone available over the counter. Carlucci stated In a letter to state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, "As the number of overdoses increases, so should the amount of people who have access to naloxone, By issuing a standing order, you will make naloxone, which has not been shown to be a dangerous drug, more accessible, and in turn save more lives."[27]

The task force would be made up of mental health professionals with knowledge of the black community who can examine, evaluate and determine remedies to tailor youth suicide prevention efforts in the back community.[35]
David Carlucci championed the Heatstroke Elimination Awareness Technology (HEAT) Act, which would require cars in the state to have detection systems installed. The intent was to force automakers to make the change on a national level similar to how California lawmakers have set nationwide emissions standards. Carlucci explained “Unless they're required to make these safety features, they don't do them, This is not some scientific theory, This is being done in other places.”[36]
Carlucci co-sponsored the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA); the law aims to have New York's electricity entirely from emission-free sources by 2040 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2050. Carlucci also sponsored the Green Amendment, a constitutional amendment to the New York State Constitution which guarantees “each person shall have the right to clean air and water, and a healthful environment.” [37]

An audit would show how, and where, the MTA gets and spends its money, ensure that drivers facing cashless-tolling fines would not have their credit scores adversely affected by late payment of bills. Drivers who live in Westchester and Rockland counties could see their toll reduced by 60% when crossing the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. However drivers who intentionally skip out on paying a toll can be charged with a Class “A” misdemeanor, which can carry a maximum of one year in jail or three years of probation. Additionally, a judge may impose a fine up to $1,000 additionally drivers who previously incurred fees and fines on any MTA crossing could have the penalties waived, under a six-month amnesty program, similar to the one used by the Thruway Authority.[39]
Carlucci sponsored legislation in 2019 banning employers from asking job applicants their salary history as a requirement for a job interview, job application, job offer, or promotion.[40] Carlucci sponsored legislation signed into law, allowing survivors of domestic violence to report the incident of abuse to any law enforcement agency in New York State, regardless of where it happened.[41]

The will crackdown on scammers trying to profit off a veteran's service by selling them financial products they don't need or charging them to apply for benefits they do not quality for.[46] 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.[47]
Carlucci sponsored Legislation Banning Crib Bumper Pads.[48] “As a parent, it's our job to protect our children, and I simply cannot imagine how the families are coping who have lost a newborn due to crib bumper pads,” said Former Senator David Carlucci. “We know these accessories are not safe due to the risk of suffocation or strangulation of a baby and yet they are still marketed to parents as a matching nursery accessory. It's time we ban their sale in New York State and prevent further tragedies.” [49] In 2019 Senate Bill S3788A was signed into law by the NYS governor.[50]
In 2020, Carlucci proposed legislation which would later be signed into law by Governor Cuomo.[51] Before Carlucci's legislation New York State law required all front seat passengers to wear seat belts, while people under the age of 16 wear seat belts whether they're seated in the front or back seats. Carlucci's legislation requires everyone to wear seat belts in the backseat of a vehicle, no matter the age of the passenger. Carlucci stated while on the chamber floor “The simple fact is that you're not any safer in the back seat, So we have to make that message loud and clear by passing this legislation.” [52]
David Carlucci sponsored legislation to rename a portion of Route 45 "The Sandra L. Wilson Memorial Highway "“Sandra Wilson was attacked for no reason. She was at the library simply doing her job," Carlucci said Wednesday. "She was known to patrons for her warm smile and friendly demeanor. This roadway will serve as a reminder of her kindness and ensure her legacy is remembered in Spring Valley and the entire State of New York.” [53]
Carlucci sponsored legislation which made it illegal for employers to ask about applicants salary history. David stated “Now, New Yorkers can talk about their qualifications and not their past wages in an interview, For too long, the salary history question was used by some employers to justify low pay and low raises for women and women of color. We are now working to close the gender wage gap and ensure equal pay for equal work.” [54]
David Carlucci championed legislation which shortened New York States suicide hotline to 988 [55]
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, Carlucci sponsored legislation which would be signed into law by Governor Cuomo which guarantees schools will not lose state funding due to COVID-19 closures. Carlucci explained "Our School districts need every penny as potential cuts could be devastating, Schools should not be penalized for making necessary decisions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic."[56]
Independent Democratic Caucus (IDC)
editOn 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.[57] 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."[58] In 2013, the IDC and the Senate Republicans announced a majority coalition agreement.[58] Their Democratic colleagues called the move a power grab and liberal Democrats blamed the group for enabling a Republican agenda.[59]
In April 2018, the IDC was dissolved and Carlucci joined the Senate Democratic Conference.[60][61] In the 2018 Democratic Primary, Carlucci defeated challenger Julie Goldberg by a 54% to 46% margin,[62] becoming one of only two former IDC members, along with Diane Savino, to defeat primary challengers.
U.S. House of Representatives bid
editIn October 2019, Carlucci announced his bid for New York's 17th congressional district.[4] Previously, Congresswoman Nita Lowey, who represents the district, had announced she would not be seeking another term and would be retiring after 30+ years in office.[63] 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."[64] The focuses of his campaign include education, climate change, gun reforms, women's rights, and comprehensive immigration reform.[65] He lost the primary to Mondaire Jones.[66]
His campaign was endorsed by various organizations including Laborers local 754,[67] IOUE local 825.[68]
Controversies
editIn 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.”[69] The mailer used the Planned Parenthood logo and read "Supported by Planned Parenthood" on the front.[70] 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."[69] 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.[70] 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."[69]
Post-senate
editIn 2021, Carlucci was recognized on The City & State New York Mental Health Power 50 list. "Serving in the state Senate between 2011 and 2020, David Carlucci focused on mental health care and substance abuse policy, including as chair of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Committee beginning in 2013 and as co-chair of a joint task force on opioid addiction and overdose prevention. Since he left office at the start of the year, he has continued to use his expertise as a consultant for organizations navigating local and state mental health care bureaucracy."[71]

The pair met in high school on the track team.[72] They have two children.[73] They live in the town of Clarkstown, New York.[74]
