Delfina Gómez is a well-known figure in the State of Mexico, where she was already a candidate for governor in the 2017 elections. In this contest, she came in second place against Alfredo del Mazo of the PRI. To this day, Morena maintains that the PRI “stole” those elections, through practices such as vote buying.
