Tony Best: Would you be upset if a Black candidate ran in a white district or a Black American in a Caribbean district? Shouldn't the voters be the ones to make the decision? After seeing all of the candidates several times, Shiffman is one of my favorites and he is one of the few running that really lives in the district. I don't think a man from Canarsie or a woman from Long Island are any more qualified to represent me because of their color.
