Luis Vega Ramos (born June 11, 1970) is a Puerto Rican lawyer and politician. He is currently a member of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives since 2006.
Luis Vega Ramos was born on June 11, 1970 to Luis Vega López and Olga E. Ramos Rivera. Vega Ramos studied Political Science and Law at the University of Puerto Rico at Río Piedras.
In the 90s, he served as legislative aide to the Judiciary Commission of the Senate of Puerto Rico. From 1995 to 2003, Vega Ramos presided PROELA, an organization that promotes the sovereign, non-territorial association between Puerto Rico and the United States. As such, he lectured several times at the White House, the United States Congress, and the United Nations. He continues to be one of the most visible advocates of the "soberanista" wing of the Popular Democratic Party.
In 2001, Vega Ramos was appointed by then-President of the House of Representatives Carlos Vizcarrondo Irizarry, as Director of his Legal and Legislative Counsel's Office. He occupied that position until 2003. Vega Ramos also served as a municipal legislator of San Juan for the Popular Democratic Party and as a legislative counsel to Governor Aníbal Acevedo Vilá.
From 2001 on, he has served as part of the multi-ideological Commission on Constitutional development of the "Colegio de Aboados de Puerto Rico". Said commission is a strong proponent of a Special Constitutional Assembly on Political Status as the proper mechanism to exercise Puerto Rico's right to self-determination.
