Ruth González, the senator and wife of the current governor of San Luis Potosí, Ricardo Gallardo, is attracting attention as a potential candidate for the state's governorship. During a recent event, Manuel Velasco, a leader within the Green Ecologist Party (PVEM), publicly endorsed her candidacy, claiming she is leading in polls by a significant margin. Velasco's comments further stirred speculation about her political ambitions and future role in state governance.

While Velasco and supporters appear confident about her leading position in the polls—which reportedly gives her a 20-point advantage—González herself has stated that she has not yet made a definitive decision regarding a run for office. This uncertainty reflects the complexities of political candidacy, where personal aspirations must be weighed against public perception and support. Her reaction during the event, which included lighthearted interactions with Velasco, indicates that while she is flattered, she remains non-committal.

The implications of González's potential candidacy could have significant political ramifications in San Luis Potosí, especially considering her connection to the current governor and the backing from established political figures. If she decides to run, she could reshape the electoral landscape and potentially continue the current administration's policies or introduce new initiatives, depending on her political platform. Her decision will likely be closely watched by both supporters and opponents as the state approaches the next electoral cycle.
