Denise Aguilar Mendez, known for her work fighting vaccine mandates and founding anti-vaccine activist groups, is now the Republican Party candidate for California Assembly District 13. Despite finishing second in the open primary with 37.9% of the vote, she faces a Democratic opponent in the upcoming election. Footage suggests Aguilar and her partner were present at the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, although she denies any involvement. She has since shifted her focus towards political office, advocating for transparency in the relationship between pharmaceutical companies and legislators. Critics have labeled her activism as extremist, with law enforcement agencies monitoring her activities with groups like the Proud Boys. Aguilar’s past involvement at the Capitol has garnered attention from online investigators, leading to calls for her arrest, despite her not being charged. The FBI continues to process tips and identify participants in the riot, with some facing federal prosecutions and potential removal from political ballots. Aguilar hopes to win support from all parties in her upcoming election, emphasizing her stance on informed consent and freedom of choice regarding medical procedures. Ultimately, Aguilar’s path from anti-mask activism to political candidacy has raised questions about her role in the Capitol riot and the potential implications for her political future.
