Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla (born 22 February 1976) is a Mexican lawyer and politician. A member of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), he has served as Governor of Michoacán since 2021. In 2018, he was elected to serve in the Congress of Michoacán.[1][2][3]

Career

Ramírez Bedolla ran as a candidate for the mayoralty of Morelia in 2015, but he was not elected.[4] In the 2018 election, he successfully stood as a candidate for Congress of Michoacán.[1]

Governor of Michoacán

In 2021, Ramírez Bedolla intended to run for the mayoralty of Morelia again, but instead ran for Governor of Michoacán. He won with 41.77% of the vote, defeating Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) candidate Carlos Herrera Tello, who took 38.92% of the vote.[5]

On June 24, 2024, he announced that U.S. and Mexican authorities finalized a deal to resume inspections of mangos and avocados after a week-long suspension due to security concerns. He met with Ken Salazar, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, prior to the announcement. Exports of avocados out of Michoacán had been halted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture following reports that Americans employed as inspectors were being held against their will amid a protest over police compensation.[6]
