Parker is a Democrat, and was first elected in 2002. Early life and careerA native of Brooklyn, Parker holds a B.S. in Public Service from Penn State University and an M.S. from the New School for Social Research's Graduate School of Management and Urban Policy.[1] Prior to elected office, Parker served in a number of different public sector roles, including Special Assistant to former Comptroller H. Carl McCall,[2] a New York City Urban Fellow,[3] Special Assistant to former Manhattan Borough President and mayoral candidate Ruth Messinger,[4] legislative aide to former City Councilwoman Una Clarke,[5] and Special Assistant to Assemblyman N. Nick Perry. Parker also served as a Project Manager with the New York State Urban Development Corporation, and as a consultant to Paine Webber. In addition to his work in the State Senate, Parker is also a professor of African-American Studies and Political Science at several colleges within the City University of New York system, primarily Brooklyn College, where he is also a faculty advisor to student organizations.[6] In 2001, Parker ran unsuccessfully for the New York City Council.[7] New York SenateIn 2002, Parker defeated former City Councilman Noach Dear in a tightly-contested Democratic primary for a newly drawn, open seat in Brooklyn.[8] He would easily win the general election. In the September 9, 2008 Democratic primary, Parker held off a strong challenge from New York City Councilmembers Simcha Felder and Kendall Stewart, and held onto his seat with a little less than half the vote.[9] In 2012, the district was redrawn to be majority African Americans, with Felder winning a newly drawn seat that was majority Jewish.[10] Parker has ran unopposed since 2012.[11] With the Democrats winning the majority in the Senate in 2018, Parker is serving as Chairman of Committee on Energy and Telecommunications.[12] Parker also serves as Majority whip.[13] Controversies, altercations, and legal troublesIn January 2005, Parker was arrested after punching a traffic agent in the face during a dispute over a traffic citation that he had been issued. He was subsequently charged with third degree assault, a misdemeanor. The charges were dropped after he agreed to take anger management classes.[14][15] In 2008, an aide filed charges against Parker, claiming he pushed her during an argument and smashed her glasses.[14] On May 8, 2009, Parker was charged with felony criminal mischief for attacking a New York Post photographer and damaging the photographer's camera and car door. According to prosecutors, the photographer's finger was broken in the alleged attack.[16] Parker was charged with a felony due to the value of damage to the camera and car door.[17] As a result, he was stripped of his leadership position as majority whip and chair of the Energy Committee.[18] Parker was convicted of a misdemeanor charge, criminal mischief, and on March 21, 2011 was sentenced to three years probation and a $1,000 fine.[19] Had he been convicted of the felonies, he would have automatically lost his seat in the Senate, and the Senate had already expelled Hiram Monserrate for misdemeanor charges earlier in the year. The Senate Democrats expressed an unwillingness to expel Parker as they had Monserrate.[20] In February 2010, Parker was restrained by his colleagues during a profane tirade against Senator Diane Savino in which Parker referred to Savino as a "bitch".[21] In April 2010, Parker launched into an outburst while colleague John DeFrancisco of Syracuse was questioning a black nominee for the New York State Power Authority.[22] "Amid the nearly two-minute tirade, committee chairman Carl Kruger told Parker he would be removed from the hearing room if he didn't settle down."[22] Parker has accused his colleagues of racism, and followed up in a radio interview by accusing his Republican "enemies" of being white supremacists.[14] Following the tirade, Sen. Rubén Díaz Sr. (D-Bronx) was quoted as saying that Parker "need[ed] help."[22] In December 2018, Parker allegedly blocked a bike lane with a car using his official parking placard, but a different license plate. When questioned about the incident on Twitter, he replied, "Kill yourself!"[23][24] Incoming Senate President Andrea Stewart-Cousins expressed her "disappointment" at Parker's action.[25] See also
