In mid-2024, Delgado formed the political action committee NicoPAC focused on helping state and local candidates.

NicoPAC

For the 2024 cycle, NicoPAC invested into several races in Arizona ranging from school board to county level and State Legislature. It reported donations of $830.32 within the year, with most of the money donated coming from out of state. [5] Signs used by the PAC falsely claimed that Democratic officeholders were connected to Jeffrey Epstein, and that they voted "against prosecuting sex crimes against minors". [3] The PAC won 14 of the 17 races it was involved in. [6] [ self-published source ] [5] [ failed verification ] In Arizona's 4th Legislative District, Democratic incumbent Senator Christine Marsh was unseated by Republican challenger Carine Warner. [7]

Legislation

In 2023, Delgado worked with State Legislators to propose House Concurrent Resolution 2004, the "Arizona Civic Participation Act," which would have lowered the qualifying age to run for the Arizona State Legislature from 25 to 18. [8]

In 2025, Delgado worked with State Representative Nick Kupper on a bill to exempt minors earning less than $50,000 from the state income tax. [9]
