He previously served as a member of the Buenos Aires Province Chamber of Deputies for the Fifth Electoral Section from 2015 to 2023 and as a City Councillor in Mar del Plata.
Early life and education
[edit]Abad was born on 30 May 1977 in Ranchos, Buenos Aires. He grew up in Santa Clara del Mar, and later moved to Mar del Plata.[1] He studied law at the National University of Mar del Plata, and began his political activism at Franja Morada, the student wing of the Radical Civic Union (UCR). As a student activist in 2004 he was elected president of the Argentine University Federation (FUA).[2]
Political career
[edit]Abad first ran for City Councillor of General Pueyrredón Partido (Mar del Plata) in 2007, and was re-elected in 2011 as part of the UDESO (Union for Social Development) alliance. A close ally of Ernesto Sanz and a supporter of the alliance between the UCR and Republican Proposal (which led to the creation of the Cambiemos coalition), in 2015 he was elected to the Buenos Aires Province Chamber of Deputies for the Fifth Electoral Section, which includes General Pueyrredón and much of the Buenos Aires Atlantic Coast.[3] He was re-elected in 2019.
In 2021 he was elected president of the Buenos Aires Province Radical Civic Union committee.[4] In the 2023 general election, Abad was elected to the Argentine Senate for Buenos Aires as the single minority seat, heading the Juntos por el Cambio list.
