Thomas P. DiNapoli bio Continued: 

Prior to becoming Comptroller, DiNapoli represented the 16th Assembly District in northwestern Nassau County for 20 years. During his tenure in the Assembly, DiNapoli chaired the Local Governments Committee, the Governmental Operations Committee and the Environmental Conservation Committee.

In the Assembly, DiNapoli was a sponsor of legislation creating the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, which helped Nassau County emerge from serious fiscal distress and restore fiscal responsibility. DiNapoli also helped draft and pass stronger school district accountability laws in response to the scandals that exposed the theft of millions of taxpayer dollars on Long Island.

As chair of the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee for five years, DiNapoli earned a reputation as one of the State’s leading voices on environmental issues, leading the fight to pass the nation’s first phase-out of the ground water contaminant MTBE and to refinance the State’s Superfund Program. DiNapoli also co-authored legislation creating New York ’s Brownfield Cleanup Program.

DiNapoli first gained recognition in 1972 when, at the age of 18, he was elected as a Trustee of the Mineola Board of Education, becoming the youngest person in New York State to hold public office.
Prior to his career in public service, DiNapoli was a manager in the telecommunications industry. He has also served as an adjunct professor at Long Island University-C.W. Post Campus and Hofstra University .
He holds a master’s degree in human resources management from The New School University’s Graduate School of Management and Urban Professions. A lifelong resident of Nassau County , DiNapoli graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in history from Hofstra University in Hempstead .
