Rubi Ibarra Garcia's quinceanera party garnered more than 1 million RSVP'd on Facebook (YouTube)

The García Ibarra family, known throughout Mexico for their daughter’s viral quinceañera party, appears to be leveraging its accidental internet fame into a new career in politics.

A video surfaced on Mexican social media last week showing the García Ibarra family asking voters in Saltillo, Coahuila to support independent mayoral candidate Fausto Destenave Kuri.

“Saltillo, take care of Fausto Destenave Kuri. Vote for him please,” Rubí’s mother tells the camera.

A man off-camera then asks Rubí for her opinion. The teen laughs nervously, blushes and adds, “Take care of the future mayor.”



The father of the social-media famous quinceañera is also being tapped to launch his own political career. Although Rubí‘s dad has no political experience, his sudden rise to internet fame has given him name recognition in a municipality, state and country that’s increasingly fed up with establishment politicians.

A marketing expert recently approached him and his brother offering to help them get elected as mayors of the municipalities of Charcas and Villa Guadalupe in their home state of San Luis Potosí.
