Political philosophy
In a biographical submission to Ballotpedia, Delica described her political philosophy and motivation for running for office.[1]
| “ | I am running for this office because one it’s just an honor and privilege to run in a very important part of Miami. I was born in Little Haiti. In addition, it includes the City of North Miami, which I have known and resided in different times in my adult life.
In 2008, I had the opportunity to speak at the HR 676 Caucus meeting at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) 2008 in Denver, CO on behalf of nurses, and it was then that I realized that true change in our society can only happen through public policy. I enjoyed working as a nurse, but I knew that I can do more for my community in politics. In addition, it is disturbing to see what is taking place in our communities and not just the minority communities. We need to continue having better representation in Tallahassee for the average person. These are individuals who are working hard to provide for their families. During the economic crash that began in 2008, I had lost everything that I had worked hard for in building my American dream. I was a successful healthcare professional with a home that I built as I was giving back to my community, church and was politically active. After losing everything, I want to make sure no one ever has to experience what I went through and to make sure that everyone has equal opportunities to anything they seek to achieve.[3] |
