Biography

Martínez was born in June 1960 in Ciudad Constitución, Baja California Sur. [1] After graduating from the La Paz Urban Normal School in 1981, he worked as a teacher and got involved in the teachers' union. [1] [2]

Martínez entered the public service as the director of civic participation in his native Comondú Municipality. [1] He then served as the syndic of La Paz Municipality from 1996 to 1999 before serving as the director of public security and municipal transit. [1] Martínez subsequently joined the administration of the Governor of Baja California Sur, serving as Oficial Mayor for a three-year period. [1]

In 2005, Martínez won a seat in the XI Legislature of the Congress of Baja California Sur representing the 3rd district. [1] [3] He earned 42.9 percent of the vote, while his closest challenger, Blanca Esthela Meza Torres, finished with 30.5 percent. Martínez served his full three-year term and presided over the Gran Comisión. [1] However, he was accused of misappropriating more than MXN$8 million by former Governor Leonel Cota Montaño. [4] [5]

In 2010, Martínez was named the director general of the Colegios de Bachilleres (COBACH) by Governor Narciso Agúndez Montaño. [4] He died in November 2017 and was honored at a session of the state congress a few days afterward. [1]
