Early life

After Baja California earned statehood, Maldonado was chosen as the gubernatorial candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).[2] He won the ensuing election in October 1953 to become the inaugural Governor of Baja California. Maldonado officially began his term as Governor on 1 December, taking part in a ceremony in Mexicali which was attended by President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines.[3]
