The gunman says he helped a defeated Republican target the homes of Democrats in New Mexico.
The defendant, Demetrio Trujillo, says the candidate, Solomon Peña, hired him after failing to win a seat in the state legislature in November 2022.
Over the following weeks, the residences of several Democratic officials were attacked in Albuquerque.
Mr Peña has denied the charges against him and is due to stand trial in June.
