Inequality.

Yes, because building a relationship by way of cooperation and consensus is an essential part of the democratic process.

Engage in multi-seat districts that have proportional representation; add a seat to a district that has grown; or develop a politically neutral body (quasi-judicial board or nonpartisan administrative commission) to draw new districts - creating an independent redistricting board.

Children and Families; Education; Crime Victims and Crime Correction; Banks; Finance; Labor; and/or Social Services.

Yes.
Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?
Yes. Frequently, I hear horrible and heart-wrenching stories about domestic violence, child abuse/neglect, family court, homelessness, poverty, unemployment, and inequality.

Delices provided the following candidate statement for the New York City voter guide:
| “ |
The South Bronx has great potential for economic growth; yet, in comparison to other boroughs, it is neglected as crime and poverty persist, while the quality of life in District 17 becomes progressively worse. Let’s build a better and safer South Bronx by stimulating economic development, reducing crime, and improving our quality of life.[3][4] |
