Mexico's election is only 11 days away (Sunday, July 1). Below is a selected list of articles published by the Mexico Gulf Region Reporter since late 2011. The list does not include every post, but the majority of them, and within most articles are multiple links to others. For much of what you need to know about the impending election in the convenience of just one article, MGRR's base story of March 30 has been read by hundreds of readers, and has been relied upon or referred to by news blogs, services and publications in the United States and Mexico. Here it is: Mexico's presidential campaign begins.
