A former Texas Democratic Party county chair was among nine party members indicted for alleged vote harvesting, it was reported.
Juan Manuel Medina, former Bexar County Democratic Party Chair and former San Antonio mayoral candidate, was indicted on two counts of vote harvesting, KSAT reported.
The indictments resulted from a statewide investigation by Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Medina is accused of vote harvesting on behalf of Cecilia Castellano, who ran as a Democrat in the 2024 election for the District 80 seat in the Texas House of Representatives. Castellano lost to Republican Don McLaughlin.
Documents showed that Medina allegedly provided “compensation or other benefit” to Rachel Leal and former Dilley council member Inelda Rodriguez in February 2024 in exchange for “vote-harvesting services.”
