Manuel Huerta Ladrón de Guevara

Manuel Rafael Huerta Ladrón de Guevara (born 12 July 1960) is a Mexican politician who currently serves as the coordinator of federal programs for the state of Veracruz. He has also served in the federal Chamber of Deputies and was a founding member of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) in 1989 and of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) in 2011 (when it was a civil association rather than a political party).

Life
Ladrón de Guevara graduated with a law degree from the Universidad Veracruzana. He was a plurinominal federal deputy for the third region in the 55th Congress (1991–94) with the PRD and the 52nd Congress (2012–15) representing the Federal District's second district for the PT. Between 2015 and 2018, Huerta was the president of the state executive committee of Morena in Veracruz. He resigned from the party committee on 27 November 2018 in order to accept President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's invitation to become the coordinator of federal programs in the state.

He is seeking election as one of Veracruz's senators in the 2024 Senate election, occupying the second place on the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition's two-name formula.
