Governor Ignacio Torres has engaged in several administrative and political initiatives in Chubut. On November 3, 2026, Torres addressed public works projects in Rawson, including school infrastructure and water treatment plant remodeling, while denying allegations from Mayor Damián Biss regarding inequitable fund distribution. Torres also indicated he is discussing the potential unification of provincial election dates with the governors of Río Negro and Neuquén for August 2027.

By November 7, 2026, the administration shifted focus to fisheries management. Torres announced a restructuring of the provincial Fisheries Secretariat and its representation in the Federal Fisheries Council. Gabriel Aguilar was appointed to the federal level, while Sebastián Cejas was named the new provincial Fisheries Secretary. These changes come as officials face upcoming negotiations regarding shrimp export interests and the potential implementation of a quota system.
