Delfina Gómez, the Governor of Mexico State, helped 1.9 million residents leave poverty, according to the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI).
She enacted social programs over three years focusing on vulnerable groups including women, older adults, people with disabilities, children, and Indigenous communities. These programs included Mujeres con Bienestar (Women with Wellbeing), Alimentación para el Bienestar (Food for Wellbeing), and Crédito Colibrí (Hummingbird Credit).
The state government currently supports 700,000 women through Mujeres con Bienestar, providing financial aid and complementary health, training, and specialized care. Beyond this, Gómez’s administration distributed scholarships to students and food support, while also working to improve housing, education, and healthcare for the most vulnerable people in Mexico State. Gómez also prioritized economic growth by attracting investment, supporting small and medium enterprises (MiPyMEs), and creating jobs. Mexico State now leads the country in job creation.
The state government partnered with the federal government on the Plan Oriente strategy, which aims to address development gaps in the eastern municipalities of the state through infrastructure projects and programs focused on education, transportation, water, and wellbeing.
