Guadalupe Jones Garay, better known as Lupita Jones and who was Miss Universe in 1991, registered this Saturday as a candidate for governor of Baja California at the State Electoral Institute (IEEBC).

The model is Candidate of the “Va por Baja California” coalition, made up of the National Action Party (PAN), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD). This March 20, she became the first applicant to make her official registration.

“I registered with the IEEBC as a candidate for governor for the #VaXBC coalition. Thank you very much to the president, @MarkoCortes, for his support, to my husband and my family, for always supporting me. I am convinced that united, we are going to work to move our state forward,” Jones reported through her Twitter account.

Jones was accompanied to her registration by Marko Cortés, national leader of the PAN, Omar Sarabia, state leader of the PRD and a delegate from the National Executive Committee of the PRI.

In this, Cortés pointed out that the actress has grown nine points in the polls since her candidacy was announced and assured that they will be able to win the governorship with her.

“You do not have a tail to be stepped on, instead you do have a mettle and prestige that will go hand in hand with the coalition parties”, she asserted.

Jones stated that she will reach out to the people to listen to her, knowing that this is where the solutions to problems lie and added that, if elected, she will supervise first-hand that things are done, as she is promising to the public.

For his part, Sarabia praised the producer for being a person who knows how to make decisions and declared that people are required to find resolutions and give results.

“She knows how to make decisions, she is a woman who knows how to govern and today that is why we are happy that she leads the coalition,” he declared.

It was in this way that the registration process for the candidates began and this Sunday it will be Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, of the National Regeneration Movement (Brunette), who goes to check in to the IEEBC.

She became the favorite of all the polls. And, the next Monday, Jorge Hank Rhon will register for the Solidarity Meeting Party (PES).

Despite not having political experience and far from what many Mexicans might think, on March 3, Jones assured that she could be the governor of the State of Baja California.

During her presentation as a standard-bearer for the “Va por Baja California” alliance, to be a candidate for governor of said entity in the next elections on June 6, the former Miss Universe argued that for more than three decades she has built a career as an entrepreneur.

Therefore, she does have experience working in a team and surrounding herself with the best people to “seek excellence” in his work.

“I have had to be in decision-making positions. I consider myself a person who has tried to build a development and growth platform for women in Mexico, with a comprehensive preparation, with international projection, and that is my vision of things that everything can be achieved,” she said.

She added that it is good that he does not have the mornings of someone who has held public office because he can innovate and propose, “because clearly things are not working.”

Jones recalled that several political parties had already sought her on other occasions to propose a deputation, but she always refused.

Nevertheless, she indicated that she accepted the candidacy for governor because she knows how abandoned the population of Baja California feels in terms of basic satisfactions and public services.
