Alfredo Valdés Montoya (14 February 1920 - 14 February 2014) was a Mexican politician who was governor of Sinaloa from 1969 to 1974. He was born on February 14, 1920, in Villa de Ahome, Sinaloa. He studied a Bachelor's Degree in Economics at the University of Guadalajara. He then worked in the federal Treasury Department. He developed the industrial and urban planning scheme of Mazatlán, Culiacán, Guasave and Ahome.[1] He gave the communities in the highlands paved roads and complete school services.[2] During his governorship, Sinaloa then achieved an annual growth rate of 7.5 percent, far exceeding the national growth rate. He married Judith Gaxiola and had 4 children, Mara, Judith, Alfredo and Alfonso. He died in Culiacán on his 94th birthday of a heart attack.[3] A day later, a body ceremony was held in the central courtyard of the Government Palace, attended by several politicians and former governors.[4]
