Quirino Ordaz Coppel (born October 23, 1962) is a Mexican attorney and politician affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party. He is currently serving as the Governor of the state of Sinaloa since January 2017. He previously served as a federal deputy for the VIII Federal Electoral District of Sinaloa from August 29, 2015, to March 1, 2016.
Ordaz Coppel was elected Governor of Sinaloa in 2016 and took office on January 1, 2017.
Ordaz Coppel was born in Mazatlán, where his father, Quirino Ordaz Luna, was a municipal president between 1984 and 1986. At a young age, Ordaz Coppel and his five siblings lost their mother, Maricarmen Coppel, who was killed in a car accident. He received his undergraduate degree in law from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México and his master's degree in public administration from the National Public Administration Institute.
His political career began in 1985, when he served as an advisor to Governor of the State of Mexico Alfredo Baranda García from 1985 to 1988. From there, Ordaz Coppel became deputy director of coordination and promotion of the Secretary of Energy, Mines and State-Owned Industries. After three years in that office, he performed several tasks for the PRI: he was the financial advisor to Luis Donaldo Colosio's presidential campaign, and he presided over the Fundación Colosio in Mazatlán.
In 1994, Ordaz Coppel returned to government service by becoming the Director General of Social Protection for the Department of the Federal District; three years later, he became the first director general of the National System for Integral Family Development in the nation's capital, though he did not last a full year in the job. From 1998 to 2000, Ordaz Coppel served as the Director General of Promotional Operations for the Secretariat of Tourism, and after that, he spent a year as the deputy director general of promotion for the Mexican Council of Tourism Promotion.
