Dale A. Sweetland (R-Fabius), candidate for Congress in New York’s 25th Congressional District, has deep roots in Central New York. A descendent of one of the first families to settle in Cazenovia, NY in 1793, Dale and his wife, Susan, live in Fabius in Southern Onondaga County.

Dale is an entrepreneur, past Supervisor of the Town of Fabius and past Chairman of the Onondaga County Legislature. Dale also is a licensed property and casualty insurance agent in New York State and worked in the crop insurance industry for 10 years.
Throughout his tenure as Chairman of the Legislature, Dale demonstrated his commitment to the taxpayers of Onondaga County by cutting $26 million from county executive budget requests. He also reduced the county workforce by 8% through attrition, not layoffs. From 2003 through 2007, the county tax rate dropped 13%.

A hard working family man who understands the issues of Central and Western New York, Dale has always kept the citizens’ best interests at the forefront. He is recognized by both Republicans and Democrats as being a person of honesty, integrity and character. He has always had an open-door policy and seeks out opportunities to listen to opposing views before making decisions.
