Biography

López Aceves hailed from Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, and was a noted educator who was nicknamed "Profe Tilico" or simply "Tilico".[1][2] He served as municipal president of Puerto Peñasco from 1982 to 1985.[2]

In the 2000 state elections, López Aceves won a seat representing the 2nd district in the LVI Legislature of the Congress of Sonora.[3] He secured 48 percent of the vote while his closest opponent, Manuel Flores Díaz of the National Action Party (PAN), received 30 percent.[4] In 2002, López Aceves presided over a special committee formed to investigate the alleged embezzlement of over MXN$9 million by Cristina Carbajal Pack, the former municipal president of Benito Juárez.[5]

López Aceves also served as president of the PRI municipal committee in Puerto Peñasco.[2] Despite being a committed PRI member, he switched to the New Alliance Party (PANAL) during the lead-up to the 2012 election on orders from his party superiors.[6][7] Within PANAL, López Aceves was the secretary general of the state steering committee for Sonora.[2]

López Aceves, who was remembered as a particularly effective orator, lived in Ciudad Obregón and Hermosillo in his final years; he died on 5 January 2024 in Hermosillo.[1][2] There is a settlement in Puerto Peñasco Municipality which bears his name.[8][9]
