A Small Business Owner. A Problem Solver. A Better Recipe for Western New York.
For New York State Senate
District 61
Dan Gagliardo worked his way up from the ground floor to become a successful small business owner. He knows firsthand that hard work, responsibility, and determination still matter.
Now, Dan is ready to bring that same work ethic to Albany — to help get New York back on track.


Dan knows the challenges facing our families and communities because he’s lived them.
As a lifelong entrepreneur, Dan has seen how high taxes, rising utility bills, and unnecessary regulations strangle small businesses and drive jobs out of New York. He believes government should help businesses grow, not hold them back.

Dan Will Fight For
LOWER TAXES & UTILITY COSTS
A business-friendly climate that creates jobs
Safer communities and support for law enforcement
Accountability and common sense in government
Too often, politics in Albany is about partisanship and self-interest. Dan believes it’s time to restore trust, put people first, and make government work again.


Beyond business, Dan is a devoted family man. He's a husband, proud father of four daughters, and grandfather to six. His family fuels his passion for ensuring our communities continue to offer hope and opportunity for the next generation.
