Dave DiPietro, a New York State Assembly member representing the southern portion of Erie County and all of Wyoming County, posted a series of statements on social media regarding state policies affecting agriculture, affordability, and legislative activity.
On March 24, 2026, DiPietro marked Agriculture Day by expressing support for local farmers. He wrote, “On Agriculture Day, I am proud to be able to co-sponsor legislation that will help our farming community. Now, more than ever, in a state that is pushing through energy policies that will strip our farmland bare by turning it into sterile solar fields, it remains increasingly”.
The following day, DiPietro commented on the political climate in Albany. On March 25, he stated: “Just another day in Albany with the grifters, but sure, let’s tour the State talking about an affordability crisis. That’ll get votes in Erie County…right, Hochul? #dipietroforyou #makenysgreatagain #firehochul”.
Later on March 25, DiPietro also referenced legislative developments with the post: “Honestly, you should see what else they try. This is one of the most non-surprising bills. @libsoftiktok”.
DiPietro has been recognized for supporting protections for local agriculture and pro-life causes while advocating for Second Amendment rights and tax reductions to aid small businesses (official website). He served as Ranking Minority Member on the Small Business Committee and as Minority Whip during his tenure. In addition to his legislative work championing constitutional freedoms and economic growth initiatives (official website), DiPietro managed Sparkle Cleaners—a family business—expanding its operations across multiple locations.
