Rogelio Martínez Santillán (June 1960 – November 2017) was a Mexican educator, trade unionist and politician. He served in the XI Legislature of the Congress of Baja California Sur from 2005 to 2008 as a member of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD).

Biography

[edit]

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]
