Dave works hard in Albany to cut taxes and reduce the size and cost of government, so that small business leaders can invest in their companies and hire more workers to improve our economy. He also fights to protect funding for agriculture and our local family farms.

​ A dedicated public servant, Dave brings valuable local government experience to the State Assembly. He has served as Trustee and Mayor of the Village of East Aurora and was recognized at the State of the County of Erie conference as the leader in New York State in mergers and consolidations of government departments and services. As Mayor of East Aurora, Dave cut taxes three consecutive years - he reduced the size of government and saved taxpayers and job creators thousands of dollars.

As a former small business owner, DiPietro has firsthand experience dealing with the taxes, fees, and regulations that kill economic development and force businesses to leave New York. In 1991, he took over the family business, Sparkle Cleaners in Amherst, and within three years tripled sales, doubled the number of employees, and added two locations. He has also worked at M&T Bank in Buffalo in the Trust Division and as a computer and accounting consultant to small businesses in Western New York.

Dave attended East Aurora High School and graduated with a B.S. Degree in Business Administration from Wittenberg University. Active in his community, he is a member of the East Aurora Moose Lodge 370, American Legion Post 362, East Aurora Rotary Club, Six Towns Youth Court, and Boys and Girls Club of East Aurora.

Dave and his wife, the former Theresa M. Pimpo, are members of Grace and Truth Church in Amherst and reside in the Village of East Aurora with their three children Daniel, Ryan, and Ava Elizabeth.
