A little about me.

Hi,

My name is Jason Delgado.

I'm a newsman, covering politics in Florida for Spectrum News.

You'll likely catch my reports on Bay News 9 in Tampa and News 13 in Orlando. Or, sometimes, in places like New York or Los Angeles — just about anywhere across Spectrum's more than 30 local stations.

I'm a Florida native, a University of Central Florida graduate, and a U.S. Army veteran. I'm also a master's student learning the world of business at Florida State University.

My previous bylines include USA-TODAY, Florida Politics, POLITICO and WMFE-NPR.
