Lucy Torres to run for Ormoc mayor, not Senate
Ormoc Mayor Richard Gomez confirmed that his wife, Leyte Representative Lucy Torres-Gomez, will run for mayor of Ormoc City instead of seeking a senatorial seat in the 2022 elections.
Gomez clarified this after Senate President Vicente Sotto III mistakenly reported earlier that Torres-Gomez would be running for the Senate.
Torres-Gomez and Gomez both stated they will not seek national positions, focusing instead on continuing to develop Ormoc City.
The couple's political party, the Ormoc Development Team (ODT), officially released their lineup of candidates on Facebook.
