Anthony R. Bucco (born February 24, 1938) is an American Republican Party politician who has served in the New Jersey State Senate since 1998, where he represents the 25th Legislative District.
Bucco was born on February 24, 1938 and has lived in the town of Boonton for most of his life. He served in the U.S. Army Reserve from 1957 until 1965.
Bucco now resides in Boonton Township, New Jersey. He married the former Helen Jayne in 1959 and had one son, Anthony Mark. In the 2009 legislative elections, Tony was elected to the seat in the General Assembly previously held by his father.
Bucco served in various local offices before entering the State Legislature. He served on the town of Boonton's Board of Aldermen from 1978 through 1983, served as the town's mayor from 1984 through 1989, and was elected to the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders from 1989 through 1992. Bucco has served on the steering committee of the Morris County Economic Development Commission.
Before entering the Senate, Bucco served in the General Assembly, the lower house of the New Jersey Legislature, from 1995 to 1998, where he served as Assistant Majority Whip from 1996 to 1998. Bucco was first selected by district Republican committee and sworn in January 1995, to fill the remainder of the unexpired term of Rodney P. Frelinghuysen, who resigned his Assembly seat following his election to Congress. During the unexpired term, he served alongside Arthur R. Albohn in the 25th district. In his first Republican primary, Bucco and running mate Michael Patrick Carroll defeated his successor in the Assembly Rick Merkt and then-Freeholder Chris Christie along with two other candidates. Bucco and Carroll were easily elected in the general election and served one full two-year term.
