List of Former Tijuana Mayors?
Does anyone know where I can obtain a list of former Tijuana mayors? Specifically, I'm looking for a man named Ramirez and the years he served.
I've searched numerous ways on Google (in English) and have come up empty.
Thanks.

"Presidente"....I forgot about that part. Good find, Woooosh.
I see Xico Leyva's name there. Forgot about that too. I do remember when he was governor

Thanks Woooosh. That was fast. I don't know why I didn't think to look at Wikipedia.
Dennis, ran into someone at a pool party yesterday claiming to be his nephew.

I'll bet he has a bunch of them. Wonder if Ramirez stayed in politics? In those days, they were mostly puppets.

Presidente was the key. Who would have thunk searching in Spanish would help? You were talking to people at a pool party and someone admitted to
having an Uncle Dennis in Baja? Geesh- what were they drinking?

Wasn't it a PRI world back then? Elections weren't much more than a Dog and Pony show for the people to play Democracy.
