Iván Hernández González is a Puerto Rican politician and former mayor of Vega Baja. Hernández is affiliated with the New Progressive Party (PNP) and served as mayor from 2011 to 2013.[1]
Hernández served as President of the Municipal Legislature of Vega Baja since 2006. When mayor Edgar Santana was convicted in 2011, Hernández was selected to replace him in an assembly on December 7, 2011.[2] He was sworn in on December 20, 2011.[1]
On March 2012, an audio was leaked to YouTube in which Hernández is heard chastising municipal employees for their lack of support to activities of the campaign of the New Progressive Party and Luis Fortuño. In the audio, Hernández grows increasingly angry and threatens to fire employees that don't comply.[3]
Hernández was defeated at the 2012 general election by the candidate of the Popular Democratic Party, Marcos Cruz Molina.[4]
