She has vowed to continue the policies of López Obrador that have focused on social welfare and more state control of the economy and energy sectors. Gálvez is a former senator from the conservative PAN party. Her front party consists of three parties, the PAN, the PRI and the PRD. She is pro-business and wants to encourage more private investment. Both candidates have made recent campaign stops in Los Angeles to court votes.
