Mexico holds elections every 6 years for local as well as national posts. The next election will be held on July 1st of this year, so politicians are making statements about their accomplishments in the last 5 years (they take office in October).

Municipality of Chapala's Mayor Javier Degollado, who is running for re-election, has stated that he has reduced the level of crime here.
