How this was researched

Reviewed 17 September 2026. Ramon Nolasco Sr. held the 1st district seat in 2016–2019, his son Ramon Jr. from 2019 to 2025, and Sr. again from 2025; Matthew Nolasco is Gattaran mayor. The direct father-and-son edge between Ramon Sr. and Ramon Jr. rested only on a fan-compiled profile and was removed; the documented path runs through Matthew, who is Ramon Sr.’s son and Ramon Jr.’s brother.
