José Félix Mendieta Villarroel (born 15 November 1958) is a Bolivian politician and trade unionist who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from Cochabamba, representing circumscription 28 from 2010 to 2015.

[3] He briefly taught mathematics at an institution in Warnes but retired after just two years due to the financial constraints and low income received from practicing the profession.

[4] The shift in disposition among the drivers' unions coincided with the rising primacy of the nascent Movement for Socialism (MAS-IPSP), with both groups steadily coalescing into a broader alliance.

[9] Customarily, candidates chosen by the drivers' unions were registered on the MAS's electoral list, but Mendieta's municipal experience led the party to run him in a single-member constituency.

"[11] Nearing the conclusion of his mandate, Mendieta was not nominated for reelection,[10] a common practice among the Movement for Socialism, which preferred to open up spaces for different representatives of allied sectors to enter parliament.
