Political career edit

Before getting involved in politics, Cueva Tabardillo worked in agriculture.[2]

Cueva Tabardillo assumed his seat in March 2011 as a local deputy in the Congress of Baja California Sur representing the 9th district of his native Comondú Municipality.[3] He served as secretary on the standing committees for Agricultural-Livestock, Forestry and Mining Affairs (Asuntos Agropecuarios, Forestales y Mineros), Ecology (Ecología), and Water (Agua).[1] He also served as the inaugural president of the Political Coordination Board (Junta de Gobierno y Coordinación Política).[4]

In August 2014 he asked federal authorities to stop the overfishing by a dozen sardine boats in the Magdalena Bay on behalf of local fishermen from the town of Puerto San Carlos who rely on the bay's supply to make a living.[5] In December he requested and was granted a temporary release from his duties to pursue personal projects in lieu of the upcoming 2015 elections – one of 13 members of the legislature to do so.[6] A few months later he was involved in the effort to organize the inaugural SCORE International Baja Sur 500 off-road race from Cabo San Lucas to Loreto, the first-ever SCORE race to both start and finish in the state.[7]
