The LeBarón family is considering running a candidate for Governor of Chihuahua in 2027. This was stated by a family member in a radio interview with Azucena Uresti. He clarified that the participation will not be through any political party and criticized that state institutions have not produced results in a century. According to him, this situation could change if 'the people of Chihuahua do it themselves'. In March 2026, Julián LeBarón accused on social networks that his father had been the victim of threats and extortion with kidnapping. He emphasized that this is not an isolated incident, but a reflection of what thousands of families in Chihuahua live through every day: fear, silence, and a system that does not protect them. 'The message here is clear: they want us to be silent and not cause trouble,' he said. Julián LeBarón also reported that more than 12 armed men were involved in the incident, with the aim of intimidating the family and the community. He added that the threats have increased since his brother, Julián LeBarón, announced his aspirations to become Governor of Chihuahua. 'We will not lose our right to live in freedom, in peace, and to give justice its due place,' he stated. In February, Julián LeBarón had already stated his willingness to run for Governor of Chihuahua in 2027, indicating that the family is preparing to 'form a political project' to defend their freedom, life, and property.
