Héctor Murguía Lardizábal

In 1978, he transferred back to Ciudad Juárez to work for a family-owned home improvement store, Maderería del Norte S.A. A year after, in 1979, he became the owner of a local manufacturing paint company, Química Industrial Fronteriza S.A. de C.V. (Pinturas Dekoro).

In 1994 he was elected to the Senate for Chihuahua[2] in conjunction with Martha Lara Alatorre, defeating the formula of the National Action Party (PAN), headed by Luis H. Álvarez.

During this term, he constructed a peripheral ring road, Camino Real, which connected the north and south part of Ciudad Juárez benefitting over a million citizens in their commute to work.

Additionally, 30 community centers were inaugurated in the city's poorest and most marginalized neighborhoods to reconstruct the social fabric.

Murguía's administration was responsible for erecting the famous landmark “X” which was constructed as a tribute to Mexico’s president Benito Juárez.
