Frio County Judge Rochelle Lozano Camacho, one of the high-profile arrests connected to an alleged vote harvesting scandal in Frio County, is running for reelection next year.

Cecilia Castellano, who has been charged in connection with a vote harvesting scandal in Frio County, announced her candidacy to be the state representative for District 80 in 2026.

More than a dozen men and women who were charged in connection with a vote-harvesting scandal appeared in court on Wednesday morning.

KSAT Investigates received the indictment paperwork of nine suspects, including a former candidate for the Texas House and two former mayors, in connection with a massive state-led election investigation on Thursday afternoon.

Republican candidate and former Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin Jr. is projected to win the Texas House District 80 race, flipping the seat red for the first time in over 20 years.

Among the most competitive races on the Bexar County ballot for Texas House include District 118, which features Republican incumbent John Lujan and Democrat Kristian Carranza. The other Texas House race that’s expected to be competitive is District 121 between Marc LaHood and Laurel Jordan Swift.

Voters in Uvalde County will decide the political fate of some of the same officials who responded to the May 24, 2022, massacre at Robb Elementary School.

A judge ordered a temporary halt to the search of digital devices confiscated from Manuel Medina, the former chair of the Bexar County Democratic Party, in an investigation led by the Texas Attorney General’s Office into alleged illegal vote harvesting.

At a news conference, Texas House candidate Cecilia Castellano did not address any of the allegations Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office laid out in search warrant affidavits.

The Texas attorney general’s office searched the home of Cecilia Castellano and a Democratic legislative aide. It said it’s investigating vote harvesting. Activists called it “intimidation.”

The group said that searches the attorney general’s office carried out this week targeted at least six Latinos, including a Democrat running for the Texas House.

Uvalde voters will head to the ballot box May 28 to decide two races, just days after the two-year anniversary of the deadly shooting at Robb Elementary.
