InfoA lifelong resident of Brooklyn, Senator Carl Kruger was first elected to the State Senate in a special election on February 15, 1994. Prior to his election to the State Senate, Senator Kruger served as an Assistant Director of Member Services for the New York State Assembly and for ten years was the Chairperson of Community Board # 18. A full time legislator, Senator Kruger maintains a District Office at 2201 Avenue U. In keeping with his promise to be available to all of his constituents, the Senator's district office has evening and weekend hours, and is accessible to the handicapped.

Senator Kruger has quickly built a reputation for being a legislator who is tough on crime. In his first term in the Senate, Senator Kruger voted in support of restoration of the death penalty, and authored and introduced an anti-crime legislative agenda which is designed to eliminate youthful offender status for violent criminals and to increase penalties for reckless and drunk driving and crimes committed with firearms.

The Senator is a member of many civic and service groups including the SUNY Health Science Center Advisory Board, Board of Trustees of the Flatlands Volunteer Ambulance Corporation, Advisory Board of Visions - advocates for the blind and visually impaired, and Vice-President of the Georgetowne Civic Association. Senator Kruger is also a member of the Flatbush Park Jewish Center, The Knights of Pythias Excelsior Lodge, and a former board member of Temple Hillel.

Senator Kruger is the recipient of numerous awards including: The Ram Bam Lodge of B'nai B'rith and the Civic Associations of Georgetowne, Mill-Island, Mill Basin, Farragut- Redwood, Bergen Beach and Futurama, the Metropolitan Geriatric Jewish Center, and the Glenwood Jewish Center, Council of Jewish Organizations (COJO) of Flatbush. He was named Legislator of the year by the Jewish War Veterans, as well as Kingsborough Community College. He has also been honored with the Israel Solidarity Award.

Senator Kruger has a B.S. in Political Science and resides with his family in the Georgetowne portion of the District.
