City Council approves permanent, scaled-down outdoor dining program
By Ben Brachfeld & Dean Moses
David Diaz isn’t a politician—he’s one of us. He was born at Jacobi Hospital, raised in Eastchester Gardens and Throggs Neck, and built his life in the Bronx. He’s lived the struggles of working families firsthand. As a small business owner, community advocate, and single father, he understands what it means to work hard, make ends meet, and fight for a better future.
While others in politics have come and gone, David has been here, listening, organizing, and standing up for his neighbors. His story isn’t about titles or power—it’s about a deep-rooted commitment to the community that shaped him.
