Jalisco Politics
Emilio Gonzalez Marquez is the current constitutional governor of the state of Jalisco, elected for office for the period 2007-2013. This western state, the name of which belongs to the nahuatl dialect and means "over the sand", is politically and administratively divided into no less than 124 municipalities.
Of course such a large number of entities required a logistic strategy, so in 1998 the state was configured around 12 major
regions as to maximize the impact of the work done by the governmental dependencies throughout the state.
