Who’s behind the deceitful anti-Dickey signs and those promoting Corrigan and Watts that are appearing around #FountainHills?
A far-right activist immersed in MAGA, conspiracy theories, and far-right conservatism is depositing political signs around town, funded by political action committee money from outside Fountain Hills.
Nico Delgado is known for his relationships with and admiration for Turning Point USA, Kari Lake, and Roger Stone, a jury-convicted multi-count felon with ties to the Proud Boys. Turning Point USA is a far-right hate group that engages in bigotry and targeted discrimination. The group has appeared at Town Council meetings and supported anti-inclusion and anti-diversity efforts. Councilmember Allen Skillicorn is a fanboy, retweeting Delgado posts.
Kari Lake, as many know, is a conspiracy theorist and election denier. According to American Bridge:
Lake encouraged supporters to “strap on a Glock” to prepare for the 2024 elections.
Lake encouraged barbers and hairdressers to intimidate voters with the “weapon” they use close to their ear.
Lake wants to put cameras in all of Arizona’s classrooms, risking the safety of children.
Lake appeared in a promotional video for Trump’s Project 2025.
Lake defended January 6th insurrectionists.
Lake campaigned in front of a Confederate flag.
Lake lied during her speech at the Republican National Convention, falsely claiming that undocumented immigrants could vote.
Lake supports Arizona’s 1864 near-total abortion ban.
Lake called a 15-week abortion ban “reasonable.”
Lake called for repealing the Affordable Care Act which would strip away health care access from the 350,000 Arizonans who depend on it.
Lake proposed massive cuts to Medicare and Medicaid.
Lake repeatedly promoted conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and vaccines.
Lake called climate change a “scam” and downplayed record temperatures.
Lake opposed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, and the CHIPS Act.
Political signs don’t vote. It’s imperative to know the candidates as well as who’s behind political signs and how they’re being funded.
Corrigan and Watts are ROT candidates. Mayor Dickey is a proven, collaborative, selfless leader who’s helped build and safeguard our beautiful, safe, and prosperous community. Delgado, the MAGA activist whose ties aren’t with Fountain Hills but with Lake, Stone, Skillicorn, and Hannah Toth-employer Turning Point, is dropping political action committee-funded signs locally in an effort to destroy Fountain Hills by overrunning our Town Council with officials whose “ideals” align with Lake, Stone, Skillicorn, and Turning Point.
The future of Fountain Hills is on the ballot. Mayor Dickey, along with Council candidates #PeggyMcMahon and #ClaytonCorey, will invest in our town’s future and protect Fountain Hills. Delgado, his mentors, and ROT candidates will destroy Fountain Hills. We’ve seen the lawsuits. We’ve seen the bullying. We’ve seen the bigotry and misogyny. We’ve seen quality Town staff resign. It can get even worse, friends.
Share this post, and vote as if Fountain Hills’s future depends on it…because it does!
