Braulio Maldonado Sández (1903 – 1990) was a Mexican politician who served as the first Governor of Baja California from 1953 until 1959. He was one of the most colorful leaders in the history of 20th-century Mexican politics.
Early life
[edit]Sández was born in San José del Cabo, Baja California Territory, Mexico in 1903 to Cruz Maldonado Zumaya and Luisa Sández Ojeda.[1]
After Baja California earned statehood, Maldonado was chosen as the gubernatorial candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).[2] He won the ensuing election in October 1953 to become the inaugural Governor of Baja California. Maldonado officially began his term as Governor on 1 December, taking part in a ceremony in Mexicali which was attended by President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines.[3]
