Biography

Jaime Heliodoro Rodríguez Calderón (born 28 December 1957), sometimes referred to by his nickname "El Bronco", is a Mexican politician. He served as the Governor of Nuevo León from 2015 to 2021 and was a candidate in the 2018 presidential election. Born in Ejido Pablillo, Galeana, Nuevo León, Rodríguez earned a degree in agricultural engineering at the UANL. He joined the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in 1980 and served as a federal deputy from 1991 to 1994, local deputy from 1997 to 2000, and mayor of García, Nuevo León from 2009 to 2012, where he was best known for his hard-line stance against organized crime. In 2014, Rodríguez left the PRI and participated in the 2015 gubernatorial election as an independent candidate, receiving half the votes and becoming the first independent candidate to win a governorship in Mexico. In 2017, he requested a temporary leave of absence from the governorship to become an independent candidate in the 2018 presidential election. He lost to Andrés Manuel López Obrador, only attaining 5% of the popular vote.
