FIFTEEN Democrats Including Several Democrat Officials Indicted in Frio County Texas Vote Harvesting Scandal Including a Local Judge, Former Rep. Candidate, and Two Former Mayors

by Jim Hoft Jul. 6, 2025

Nine more officials were arrested in connection with a voter harvesting scandal in Frio County Texas bringing the total number of indicted officials to 15.

The latest indictments included Manuel Medina, the Texas State Tejano Democrats Chair. Manuel was recorded discussing a scheme to collect votes for Castellano with the Frio County operator.

Former Dilley Mayor Mary Ann Obregon was also indicted on two counts of vote harvesting.

Former Pearsall Mayor Petra Davina Trevino was indicted on one count of vote harvesting.

Back in early May, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of six individuals, including public officials in Frio County, for participating in an illegal vote harvesting scheme.

The individuals were arrested in early May except for the Frio County Judge Rochelle Lozano Camacho who was not processed at the time. Camacho later turned herself in to police and was charged with vote harvesting during her primary election. Camacho had been dealing with medical issues.

According to IJR, Judge Camacho campaigned on a message of “UNITY, MOVEMENT and PROGRESSION FOR FRIO COUNTY.”

Her sister, the county’s trustee, was also arrested in the vote-harvesting scheme.

According to IJR:

The charges stem from a multi-year investigation launched in 2022 after Camacho’s opponent in the Democratic primary runoff, Mary Moore, filed a complaint, San Antonio-based ABC affiliate KSAT reported. Moore accused Camacho of hiring a longtime Democrat operative to gather mail ballots, complete applications, and even drive voters to polling locations. She allegedly paid them between $1,500 and $2,500.

Camacho allegedly targeted elderly voters in a Pearsall, Texas subdivision, Newsweek reported. One of Camacho’s partners in the scheme reportedly concealed ballots under her shirt and used multiple vehicles to avoid detection from investigators.
