José Luis González Rodríguez (11 April 1939 – 4 September 2006) was a Chilean politician who served as a deputy.[1]

Biography

He was born in Santiago on 11 April 1939, the son of Luis González Silva and Clarisa Rodríguez Arévalo.[2]

He married Ernestina Ulloa Suannez and was the father of three children.[2]

He completed his primary education at the Escuela de Hombres No. 1 of Linares and his secondary education at the Liceo de Hombres of that city and at the Liceo de Hombres No. 7 of Ñuñoa.[2] He entered the University of Chile Faculty of Medicine, qualifying as a physician-surgeon.[2] He also obtained a degree in Education from the Austral University of Chile in Valdivia, where he completed a master's degree.[2]

Between 1967 and 1970, he served as Director of the Hospital of Los Lagos; between 1972 and 1973, he worked as Zonal Epidemiologist in Valdivia.[2]

From 1986, he worked as Director of Social Development of the Diocese of Valdivia and was member of its Social Pastoral until 1991; from 1992 onward, he served as Director of the Corporación de Promoción Social of that city.[2]

Political career

In 1989, he participated in the founding of the Party for Democracy (PPD) in the Los Lagos Region, assuming the presidency; between 1990 and 1992, he was elected Provincial President of the PPD in Valdivia.[2] In 1990, he ran for the Chamber of Deputies for District No. 54, X Region (1990–1994 term), but was not elected.[2]

Professionally, in 1990 and 1991, he was appointed advisor to the Director of Health of Valdivia and, a year later, was designated Director of the Regional Hospital of that city.[2]

In December 1993, he again ran for the Chamber of Deputies representing the PPD for District No. 54—comprising the communes of Panguipulli, Los Lagos, Futrono, Lago Ranco, Río Bueno, La Unión and Paillaco—for the 1994–1998 term, and was elected with the highest majority, obtaining 25,305 votes (31.10% of valid votes).[2]
