After two years as a municipal secretary in Ecatepec, voters sent Bedolla López to public office for the first time as he became a local deputy to the LI Legislature of the Congress of the State of Mexico, between 1990 and 1993.
[1] In July 2012, voters in Ecatepec, the city where he had spent much of his early political life, elected Bedolla as municipal president with 80,000 more votes than the second-place PRD candidate,[2] and he took the position on 1 January 2013.
[3] His administration was marked by lows such as the 30-30 disaster, in which a stampede developed at a La Arrolladora Banda El Limón concert, where three people died, as well as a general increase in crime and car thefts.
[4] On 21 January 2015, Bedolla asked for license to step down as the municipal president of Ecatepec[4] in order to pursue a successful bid to return to the Chamber of Deputies.
He presided over the Commission for Productive Projects in Marginalized Zones and served on three others: Social Security, Radio and Television, and Oversight of the Superior Auditor of the Federation.
