Erik Martin Dilan

Last updated

After redistricting, he decided to challenge incumbent Democratic U.S. Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez (D-Williamsburg) for New York's 7th congressional district . He said "We've had an incumbent who has been there for 20 years and she's done little with the post. She's going to have to justify after 20 years of nothing, why she should remain in office." [10] Dilan took second place in the Democratic primary with 35% of the vote.
