Candidates for mayor 2006-2009

Sanmiguelenses go to the polls on July 2 to elect a new mayor for 2006-2009. This year's election promises to be hotly contended between candidates Jesús Correa Ramírez (PAN, National Action Party), Eleazar Romero Domínguez (PRI, Institutional Revolution Party) and Manuel Rosas Hernández (PRD, Democratic Revolution Party).
Apart from the individual candidates' platforms, other factors may influence the outcome of the election. On a local level, the impressive legacy of PAN mayor Luis Alberto Villarreal-renovations to the historic center and infrastructure projects, many of which were financed by Villarreal's lobbying efforts-may make the PAN candidate a favorite. However, Rosas's candidacy may receive a boost from the popularity of Manuel López Obrador, the PRD candidate in the national presidential election, also to be held this year on July 2.
