Jaime R. Perelló Borrás (born September 14, 1973) is a Puerto Rican politician. Perelló is affiliated with the Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico and the Democratic Party of the United States.
Jaime Rafael Perelló Borrás was born on September 14, 1973 in San Juan. He studied at the Santa Teresita Academy in Santurce where he was secretary of his class in 1992. Perelló then studied at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Political Science in 1998.
Perelló also licensed himself to work as an insurance agent, which he did, even opening his own insurance firm. In 2005, Perelló completed his Master's degree in Education with a Major in Public Administration from Cambridge College in Boston, Massachusetts.
In 2000, Perelló was appointed by José Aponte de la Torre, then Mayor of Carolina, as adviser for the Health Reform. Concerned for the health crisis caused by the Navy bombardments in Vieques, Perelló and Aponte founded the Corporation Salud para Vieques, where he served as part of the Board of Directors.
The next year, Aponte asked him to work as Special Aide in charge of Affairs with Central and Federal Government, as well as serving as liaison with other mayors from Puerto Rico and the United States. In 2003, he was one of the arrested people for performing civil disobedience on Vieques, serving 30 days in a federal prison (see United States Navy in Vieques, Puerto Rico).
