In her address, Cano highlighted the vital role of women in public life and expressed her commitment to working tirelessly to create jobs, protect natural resources, and ensure public safety, education, and services. She emphasized her promise to deliver on her campaign commitments while avoiding political maneuvering, and she pledged to work closely with both federal and state governments. Additionally, Cano promised to maintain an open dialogue with the local community to ensure that the voices of San Quintín residents are heard.
Following the event, Cano briefly addressed the media, indicating that the first council session, scheduled for early Tuesday morning, would present information on the current state of the municipality, including the available budget, planned departments, and service statistics. She also mentioned her pre-election agreement to reduce compensation rates for government officials to a more economical scale compared to what the Foundational Municipal Council had established.

Most council members are from the Morena party, with additional representation from the Labor Party, Green Ecologist Party, National Action Party, Citizens’ Movement, and Fuerza por México.
Among those accompanying Cano at the event were federal deputy Claudia Moreno; President of the State Congress’s Board of Directors, Dunnia Montserrat Murillo López; and the Secretary for Social Inclusion and Gender Equality, Rebeca Vega Arreola, among others.
**PROFILE OF THE FIRST MAYOR OF SAN QUINTÍN**
Miriam Cano Núñez, a native of the San Quintín valley, is the daughter of professional parents. At 53 years old, she holds a degree in Information Technology from the Tijuana Institute of Technology. Her diverse career includes roles as a teacher, radio and television communicator, print media journalist, activist, and social advocate. She has also contributed significantly to the Morena political party.
Cano previously served as a local deputy for District 17 in the XXIII Legislature, where she played a crucial role in advocating for the municipalization of San Quintín with support from former governor Jaime Bonilla Valdez. Her political journey faced a setback when the Electoral Justice Tribunal revoked her re-election candidacy for her local deputy position, citing issues with her representation of indigenous communities.
Nevertheless, she joined the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda as the Secretary of Social Inclusion and Gender Equality from 2021 to 2024, a role she held until shortly before the electoral process.
**PROPOSALS**
Among her proposals, Cano Núñez plans to drive significant investment in machinery and form a technical team to secure additional resources through national and international programs. She has also committed to a street paving program, aiming to pave 50 streets leading to schools and health centers while prioritizing local labor.
Another key proposal is a comprehensive Waste Prevention and Management Program, which will include upgrading waste collection, transportation, and disposal infrastructures. This initiative aims to double the amount of waste collected and processed through transfer stations distributed around the municipality.
For security, one of her main promises is the “Neighborhood Police” program, focused on tackling root causes of insecurity, increasing police force numbers, enhancing intelligence and investigative capabilities, and fostering coordination between all government levels and the community.
