At the statewide level, out bisexual candidate Ana María Archila fell short in her bid to become the state’s next lieutenant governor. Incumbent Antonio Delgado, a former member of Congress, had more than 57% of the vote as of June 29, while Archila sat in second place with just over 201,000 votes, or 23.35%.
