Vote, for our next City Councilman ERIK MARTIN DILAN, he’s already making a difference for all of us!


ERIK MARTIN DILAN is a life-long resident of the
37th Council District. Born on May 11, 1974 to Debra and Martin Malave-Dilan. ERIK MARTIN DILAN comes from a family of public servants. His father, Councilman Martin Malave-Dilan let him know at a young age that being an advocate for the community required three qualities: consistency, insistency, and persistency.


ERIK MARTIN DILAN has consistently been at the forefront of issues affecting his community. When the Board of Education attempted to privatize several schools, ERIK MARTIN DILAN led a coalition of parents, school board members, and elected officials to make sure parents were informed of the dangers of privatization. Concurrently, Mr. Dilan has also been instrumental in having four schools removed from state’s School Under Registration Review (SURR) and one from the Chancellors district.


As a product of the community that he is seeking to represent on the city council, ERIK MARTIN DILAN understands the needs of our community. He has been very active in several youth and senior initiatives. As Chairman of the Horace E. Greene Scholarship Committee he has raised funds for students for their educational endeavors. Additionally, ERIK MARTIN DILAN has served as a volunteer Basketball coach at St. Martin’s Church as well as other youth leagues and seniors services. It was here that ERIK MARTIN DILAN insisted that the young people he coached take their schoolwork seriously while working toward making their neighborhood a better place to live.


ERIK MARTIN DILAN has been and will be persistent in his vision for the 37th Council District: Education, Housing, Senior Services and Economic Development


ERIK MARTIN DILAN has the endorsements of Democrats: Councilmember Martin Malave-Dilan, Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez, State Senator Ada L. Smith Councilmembers: Guillermo Linares, Annette Robinson and Una Clark; Democratic District Leader Diana Reyna, and community residents.
