Life

Huerta Ladrón de Guevara graduated with a law degree from the Universidad Veracruzana. He was a plurinominal federal deputy for the third region in the 55th Congress (1991–94) with the PRD and the 52nd Congress (2012–15) representing the Federal District's second district for the PT and, after February 2015, for Morena. Between 2015 and 2018, Huerta was the president of the state executive committee of Morena in Veracruz. He resigned from the party committee on 27 November 2018 in order to accept President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's invitation to become the coordinator of federal programs in the state.

He was elected as one of Veracruz's senators in the 2024 Senate election, occupying the second place on the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition's two-name formula.
