César Octavio Camacho Quiroz (born 14 February 1959) is a Mexican lawyer and politician affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party. He served as Governor of the State of Mexico between 1995 and 1999, as Senator of the LVIII and LIX Legislatures of the Mexican Congress, and as Deputy of the LX and LXIII Legislatures, all representing the State of Mexico, and as president of the PRI between 2012 and 2015.
Camacho Quiroz was born on 14 February 1959 in Metepec, State of Mexico. He was raised in a PRI family; his father served on the municipal council from 1973 to 1975, and his house frequently hosted dinners with PRI party members. In 1980, he graduated with a degree in law from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México. He then went to work at the law office of Riva Palacio for a year, leaving that post to enter public administration in the state government. From 1985 to 1987, he taught at various schools, including the UAEM, Universidad Anáhuac del Norte, UNAM, and at Tec de Monterrey, Campus Toluca.
In 1979, Camacho Quiroz began to get involved with the PRI. In 1979, he became the state-level executive coordinator of the National Revolutionary Youth Movement, a PRI organ, and in 1982, he was named Subsecretary of Ideological Dissemination for the party. Three years later, Camacho Quiroz was tapped to become the Secretary of Social Action. At the same time, he became a member of the Public Administration Institute of the State of Mexico (IAPEM).
1987 saw Camacho Quiroz become deputy director of government for the State of Mexico. From 1991-93, he served as the municipal president of Metepec, a position he resigned to become the secretary general of the state government. While in this position, he negotiated during such events as prison riots in Almoloya de Juárez and protests blocking highways in Atenco.
