SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — María Elena Andrade Ramírez is now Baja California's Attorney General after her nomination was approved by the state's congress on Wednesday night. Following the vote, she was sworn in to replace Iván Carpio Sánchez, who suddenly resigned from the post earlier this month. Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda nominated Andrade Ramírez. Some members of the state congress, however, refused to participate in the vote and abstained from the process. Representative Marco Antonio Blásquez said he and others were not allowed to interview the nominee nor were they allowed to participate in Andrade Ramírez's vetting process.
