Raised in Chandler, back to make a difference.

Nicholas grew up in Arizona, attended Chandler High School, and earned a degree in Urban Planning from ASU Tempe. During law school in San Francisco, Nicholas founded Estas Manos Coffee Roasters – a mission-based roaster that prioritizes coffee farmers and invests in fair trade and sustainability. Like most small businesses, the pandemic made operating in California impossible and in 2022, Nicholas relocated the company back home to Arizona.


Nicholas currently works as a Community Planner for a local non-profit, developing affordable housing and attainable commercial space for Arizona entrepreneurs. Nicholas advocates for progressive housing policy, restoring reproductive freedoms, and the Latino community.

Campaign Priorities

  • Housing Affordability

    As a community planner, I have seen firsthand how the housing crisis has impacted Arizonans. The cost of living continues to rise in the state, making it that much harder for families to afford a home. With out-of-state corporations coming to the state, mortgages and rents have significantly increased. Now, many Arizonans are finding themselves priced out of their homes or even homeless.

    As policymakers, we must ensure that all Arizonans can afford to have a roof over their heads. This starts by creating more affordable housing and not allowing out-of-state investors to control the housing market. I am committed to fighting for Arizonans and helping families achieve their dream of owning a home.

  • Reproductive Healthcare

    In the last two years, we have seen reproductive freedoms and abortion access attacked at every level. As a father I believe that all people should have control over their bodily autonomy without political interference.

    These personal decisions should be made solely between a person and their doctor. We must restore these reproductive freedoms to protect our medical providers and any person seeking reproductive healthcare.

  • Education

    As a proud product of Arizona’s public schools, I am a living testament to the importance of public education. I firmly believe that education is not just a key but the key to a thriving economy and a strong Arizona workforce.

    We must ensure that our state legislature does not use education funding as a bargaining chip. My goal is to foster collaboration and work across party lines to secure practical resources and funding for Arizona public schools. Investing in our public schools is how we invest in Arizonan's future.

  • Public Safety

    Public safety is a top priority. We must ensure that public safety agencies have adequate funding to protect our communities. I am determined to keep our families and children safe and ensure that everyone feels secure in their neighborhoods.
