He won the Democratic primary with a plurality of 33% of the vote.[2] In the general election, Dilan won the seat with 87% and defeated three third party candidates.[3] In 2003, he was challenged in the Democratic primary by just one candidate, State Senator Nellie R.

He illegally acquired an "affordable housing" unit for which he exceeded the allowable income to qualify because of his connections in the real estate industry. He was punished with a $9,000 fine in January 2015.[9]
