Imelda Castro, the woman who wants to rule the cartel battleground of Sinaloa
"Sinaloa is a ticking time bomb that could explode in the hands of the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum at any moment. The senator is not a public heavyweight of Morena, at least not openly; nor does she seek to draw more attention than necessary. Castro, who was born in Sinaloa, moves forward quietly but with consistent effort, trying to earn the points that will place her in the front row in the race for the state governorship"
"It's time for women the emblematic phrase that Sheinbaum used to celebrate her election as Mexico's first female president is poised to be replicated in at least 10 of the 17 states that will hold gubernatorial elections in 2027. This is expected to apply to the candidates nominated by Morena, Mexico's most powerful party, and its allies, the PVEM and PT. The political group is preparing an agreement to field female candidates in a dozen states for the 2027 midterm elections, including Sinaloa"
Imelda Castro, a Morena senator born in Sinaloa, is quietly building support to win her party's nomination and the governorship of Sinaloa. Sinaloa faces severe volatility that some describe as a ticking time bomb for the incoming administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum. The selection process within Morena will begin well before official timelines and is expected to be influenced by internal polls. Morena and its allies are preparing to field female candidates in many 2027 gubernatorial races, opening opportunities for women like Castro. Castro emphasizes steady, low-key campaigning and local roots to bolster her candidacy.
