Blanca Fonseca, another candidate for one of 8 delegates to the judicial convention, appears to have been a member of Queens Community Board 3 since 2004. She appears to be an accountant. That's literally all the info I could find.

Andres Vargas, also on the ballot for 1 of 8 judicial convention delegate spots, is DenDekker's chief of staff.

. @manperez is also running for 1 of 8 judicial convention delegate spots. He's on Twitter, and he has a website: http://www.manuelny.com/ 

Which is helpful, because it's proving challenging to find info about a lot of people on the ballot.

Matthew E. DiStefano, also running for 1 of 8 judicial convention delegate spots, is an attorney, currently working for NYC Council Legislative Document Unit.

Gary Gilbert is also running for 1 of 8 judicial convention delegates.

Here's an adorable video of Gary talking about living in Jackson Heights for ages, & awards he & his husband received for making strides in gay rights: https://tinyurl.com/y6wm36z9
