Dominic F. Pileggi is an American politician from Pennsylvania who represented Pennsylvania's 9th Senatorial district, including portions of Chester and Delaware Counties, from late 2002 until January 2016. He is now a judge in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas.
Pileggi earned a B.A. in economics from Saint Joseph's University in 1979 and his J.D. from Villanova University School of Law in 1982.
Prior to his election to the state Senate, Pileggi served as mayor of Chester, Pennsylvania from 1999 to 2002.
Pileggi ran in a special election on October 1, 2002 to fill the seat of State Senator Clarence Bell, who died on July 26, 2002. He defeated State Representative Thaddeus Kirkland, 60%-21%. In 2004, Pileggi won a full term to his seat, defeating Thomas Bosak 60%-40%. In 2008, Pileggi won re-election to his second full term, defeating John Linder 58%-42%. In 2012, he won re-election to his third full term, defeating Patricia Worrell, 55%-45%.
Pileggi was sworn in on October 16, 2002. In 2003, the political website PoliticsPA named him to "The Best of the Freshman Class" list.
After the shakeup in leadership caused in part by the 2005 legislative pay raise, Pileggi was elected by his colleagues to serve as the Republicans' floor leader in November 2006. He was re-elected to serve as Republican floor leader in November 2008, November 2010 and November 2012.
