Larry Delgado (born 1936) was elected mayor of Santa Fe, New Mexico after serving two terms on the Santa Fe City Council from 1990 to 1998. He was elected mayor of Santa Fe in 1998 after defeating mayor Debbie Jaramillo and former mayor Sam Pick. In that election, he was viewed as taking a centrist position between Jaramillo's anti-development policies and Pick's pro-development policies.[2] He received 44% of the vote, ahead of Pick's 32% and Jaramillo's 11%.[3][4] Delgado served two full terms as mayor, leaving office in 2006.[1]
