The 2026 election does not happen on November 3. It already has begun with early voting and mail in ballots. Please make sure now that the GOP has not purged you from voter rolls. Then make a plan to vote--if possible early! We MUST win this election. There is no Plan B!

We can confirm the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van tested negative for narcotics/ illicit drugs.
We are not commenting further on the test results, as the investigation is pending.
