Crispin Agustin Mendoza exemplifies political resilience in Mexico's violent election climate, boldly continuing his campaign for mayor despite assassination attempts on his life.
Mendoza, smuggled as a teen to the U.S. and later thriving in Silicon Valley, returned to Mexico to become a politician amidst rampant cartel violence.
He acknowledges the risk with a detached perspective, saying, 'You have to assume one day you'll be attacked and killed,' highlighting the dangers politicians face in Guerrero.
The ongoing cartel turf battles in Guerrero state have dramatically escalated violence, as evidenced by brutal attacks on public officials, including the beheading of a mayor.
