Life

Ortíz Garza, son of small business owner Nazario Silvestre Ortíz González and his wife Guadelupe de la Garza y Garza, attended public school No. 2 in his native Saltillo until the age of 14 and began to work in 1907. He left the Ateneo Fuente without a degree, fought during the revolution from 1915 to 1917 under the command of General Francisco Murguía and in 1917 was a supplier for military units in Coahuila. His political career began when he became a member of the city council of Torreón in 1920 , of which he was first mayor between 1922 and 1923. In 1923 he ran successfully for a seat in the House of Representatives (Cámara de Diputados) of the Congress of the Union (Congreso de la Union) , but did not take up this mandate. In 1924 he acted as the campaign manager of his mentor Manuel Pérez Treviño in his successful candidacy for governor of the state of Coahuila and was himself elected to the legislative assembly of the state in 1925, of which he was temporarily president. In 1926 he was appointed mayor of Torréon and held this post after his election between 1927 and 1928, before he was appointed mayor of his native Saltillo in 1928.

In the gubernatorial elections in 1929 Ortíz Garza was able to prevail against Vito Alessio Robles and replaced Bruno Neira González as governor of the state of Coahuila on December 1, 1929 and held this office until November 30, 1933, after which Jesús Valdés Sánchez was his successor. He then became a member of the Senate (Senado de México) of the Congress of the Union in 1934 and represented the state of Coahuila in this until 1940. He later served as General Manager of the Compañía Nacional de Subsistencias Populares (CONASUPO) food company between 1943 and 1946 .

After Miguel Alemán Valdés was elected President , Ortíz Garza was appointed Minister of Food and Agriculture ( Secretario de Agricultura y Fomento ) in his cabinet on December 1, 1946 , and held this office until the end of his term on November 30 1952. In addition to his political career, he worked as a winemaker and founded the Viñedos Ribier company in 1947 . In an action against Alemánistas , the supporters of the former President Alemán Valdés, his property in Tampico was expropriated in 1953 , as reported by The New York Times . In 1954 he founded the wine-growing company Compañía Vinícola de Aguascalientes and served as president of the National Association of Grape Growers for the first time between 1954 and 1963 and again from 1967 to 1971.

His brother Francisco Ortíz Garza was also mayor of Torréon between 1931 and 1932.
