Albert Trey Fuccillo (born September 30, 2002) is an American politician who represents the 6th ward on the Marlborough City Council in Marlborough, Massachusetts. A member of the Democratic Party, he was first elected at the age of 21, making him one of the youngest elected officials in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Early life and education

Fuccillo grew up in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and graduated from the Advanced Math & Science Academy Charter School. While in high school, he served as a member of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association's Student Advisory Committee and was named a candidate for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program.[1][2]

After high school, Fuccillo studied political communication at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts.[3] At Emerson, he was a co-founder and member of Beyond, an informal nonpartisan debate and discussion group of approximately a dozen Emerson students. Fuccillo played college baseball as a catcher on the Emerson Lions varsity baseball team for two seasons.[4] He graduated magna cum laude from Emerson in 2024.

While attending college, Fuccillo worked on Maura Healey's successful 2022 gubernatorial campaign.[5] He served as Healey's digital deputy at the Massachusetts Democratic State Convention and as a college campus organizer.[6] From 2022 to 2023, Fuccillo interned at Marlborough City Hall and for the Marlborough Community Development Authority.[7][8] He has served as the MetroWest chair of the Young Democrats of Massachusetts since 2022.[9] In 2024, Fuccillo was elected vice-chair of the Marlborough Democratic City Committee.[10]

In 2024, Fuccillo endorsed and campaigned for Question 4 in Massachusetts which would have allowed for the limited medical legalization of certain psychedelic substances to help treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health conditions.[22][23] The ballot measure failed 57%-43%.[24]
