An insurance agent by profession, Deluga was elected for the first time in 1989, when he was elected as Mayor of Le Teich, to which he was re-elected in 1995, 2001 and 2008.[2]
In the 1997 election, he won the Gironde 8th for the first time, beating Robert Cazalet of the UDF. For the course of that Parliament, he was a member of the Commission on National Defence and the Armed Forces. He only served a single term, before being defeated in the 2002 election by Marie-Hélène des Esgaulx of the UMP.[3] In a re-match in 2007, des Esgaulx triumphed for a second time.[4]
In the regional election of 2004, Deluga was elected to the Aquitaine Regional Council,[5] where he was then chosen to be the 8th Vice President, with responsibility for tourism.[2]
In 2008, des Esgaulx resigned following her election to the French Senate, and a by-election was held for her constituency. Standing again, Deluga won the election, beating Yves Foulon of the UMP,[1] and promised to stand down from his position on the Regional Council.[6]
