Background

Zucker was born in Englewood, New Jersey, and raised in nearby Teaneck, New Jersey.[1] He earned his Bachelor of Science from St. Thomas Aquinas College and his master's degree in government from the Johns Hopkins University.[2] He lives in Brookeville, Maryland with his wife Jenny, their two sons and their dog Sophie.[3] Over the years, Zucker has been active in many community organizations, including the Greater Olney Civic Association, the Olney Theatre Center for the Arts and the Manna Food Center. He also served on Maryland's Joint Task Force on Workplace Fraud.[4]

Career

Zucker has worked in public service since graduating from college in the mid 1990s. He began his career as a scheduling assistant to U.S. Senator Bill Bradley (D-New Jersey) in 1996. He then interned for U.S. Senator Carl Levin (D-Michigan) in 1997, served as scheduler for U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-California) in 1999, and was Legislative Director to Delegate Peter Franchot (D-Takoma Park) from 1999-2000. He went on to serve as Deputy District Director for U.S. Representative Albert R. Wynn from 2000 to 2004. After working for Congressman Wynn, Zucker worked for Service Employees International Union before becoming Deputy Chief of Staff to Comptroller Peter Franchot from 2007-10.[5]

Zucker was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2010 and sworn in on January 12, 2011.

After winning re-election, Zucker was promoted to serve as chairman of the Subcommittee on Health and Human Resources on the House Appropriations Committee. He also sits on the Capital Budget Subcommittee, and is the House Chair of the Joint Audit Committee.[7]
