About Pablo
Pablo José Hernández, born on May 11, 1991, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is the youngest Resident Commissioner in Puerto Rico’s history. Elected with the highest number of votes of any official in the 2024 election, he represents the people of Puerto Rico in the U.S. Congress with a focus on economic development, equity in federal programs, and infrastructure rebuilding.
Hernández began his political career in 2008 as a volunteer for the mayoral race in San Juan before he was old enough to vote. His innovative use of social media in his uncle’s successful campaign for the Puerto Rico Senate that same year highlighted his early understanding of digital tools in modern politics. By 2012, he was serving as absentee voting coordinator for Puerto Rico’s Popular Democratic Party.
After earning a Bachelor’s degree, Hernández worked in the Puerto Rico Governor’s Office, focusing on policy and administrative priorities, before departing to pursue a law degree at Stanford Law School. There, he worked with the Immigrants’ Rights Clinic and explored the intersection of social media and democracy.
