Gustavo Enrique Madero Muñoz (born 16 December 1955) is a Mexican politician and businessman, great-nephew of the president Francisco I. Madero. He was the President of the National Action Party (PAN) from 2010 to 2013 and again from 2014 to 2015. He currently is a deputy from the first electoral region representing the state of Chihuahua.
Gustavo Madero has a bachelor's degree in communication sciences from the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO) in 1978 and taught at the Women's University of Guadalajara between 1976 and 1977. He has pursued business interests for most of his life; from 1993 to 1994, he was the Vice President of the COPARMEX in Chihuahua, and he has consulted for hotels and worked for companies including Banamex and ING. He also served in aseveral public service positions, as a department head in the Directorate General of Adult Education of the SEP (1979–82) and as a coordinator of farmer training at the National Agricultural Training Institute between 1982 and 1986.
In 1996, Madero joined the PAN, and the next year he served as the Director General of Planning and Evaluation in Chihuahua under Governor Francisco Barrio. In 2001, he became more actively involved in politics when he stood (unsuccessfully) as the PAN's candidate for municipal president of Chihuahua. In 2003, voters in the Sixth Federal Electoral District of Chihuahua sent Madero to the Chamber of Deputies for the first time, in the LIX Legislature, after narrowly beating his opponent, Pedro Domínguez Alarcón of the PRI, by 48,683 votes to 48,229. He presided over the Finances and Public Credit Commission, where he worked hard to have value-added tax applied to medicines and foodstuffs, an (unsuccessful) policy initiative of the Fox administration.
