Rochelle Camacho Suspended

Rochelle Lozano Camacho, the Frio County, Texas Judge, was indicted on three counts of vote harvesting on May 7, 2025, as part of a six-person indictment announced by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The investigation began after a complaint from Mary Moore, Camacho's opponent in a 2022 Democratic primary runoff, alleging that Camacho paid a political operative between $1,500 and $2,500 to gather mail-in ballots, assist elderly voters with ballot applications, and transport voters to polling sites in violation of Texas election law.

Camacho turned herself in at the Frio County Jail on May 9, 2025. The State Commission on Judicial Conduct suspended her from office without pay days after her arrest. She faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count if convicted; the case remains pending, and Camacho has since filed for re-election.
