Socorro Sofío Ramírez Hernández (born 27 June 1967) is a Mexican politician. He was born in Tlalixtaquilla, Guerrero, and has been affiliated at different times with both the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD).
Early Career and Local Government
Ramírez Hernández studied at the Autonomous University of Guerrero. He served as municipal president (mayor) of Tlalixtaquilla, Guerrero, from 2002 to 2005. In 2005, he was elected to the Congress of Guerrero for a three-year term, representing the district of Huamuxtitlán as a member of the PRI.
Federal Deputy (2009–2011)
In the 2009 mid-term federal elections, he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies to represent the fifth district of Guerrero for the PRI. In February 2011, he resigned from the PRI and switched his allegiance to the PRD. On 24 March 2011, he resigned his seat in the Chamber of Deputies to take office as Secretary of Rural Development under newly elected Governor of Guerrero, Ángel Aguirre Rivero. He was replaced in the Chamber by his substitute, Moisés Villanueva de la Luz.
In September 2011, Villanueva de la Luz was found murdered in Huamuxtitlán, Guerrero. Following this event, various members of the PRI accused Ramírez Hernández of involvement. On 13 December 2011, he reassumed his seat in the Chamber of Deputies.
Senator (2012–2018)
In the 2012 general election, Ramírez Hernández was elected to the Senate of the Republic, representing the state of Guerrero for the PRD. On 14 December 2015, he left the PRD, and on 4 February 2016, he joined the PRI's parliamentary group in the Senate.
In 2018, while still serving in the Senate, a group of female PRI members in Chihuahua filed a complaint with the party accusing Ramírez Hernández of sexual harassment. He vehemently denied the allegations.
Later Political Activity
In March 2025, Ramírez Hernández announced his resignation from the PRI and his return to the PRD, expressing his intention to seek the governorship of Guerrero in the 2027 election. In August 2025, he reportedly joined the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) as part of his continued pursuit of a gubernatorial candidacy.
