Jaime David Fernández Mirabal

He was Vice President of the Dominican Republic, having served in the first Government of the Dominican Liberation Party from 1996 to 2000. He was also the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources of the Dominican Republic.

In 1994, Fernandez ran again for office, and was reelected to the Senate. In 1996, Professor Juan Bosch declined to run for the presidency. Eventual presidential nominee Dr. Leonel Fernández Reyna suggested that Fernandez consider becoming vice president. Fernandez was immediately nominated by the PLD for Vice President of the Republic. He became the first vice president representing both the PLD and Ojo de Agua, Salcedo.

In 1990, he was nominated by his fellow party sympathizers for the candidacy of senator of Salcedo province. The campaign was successful and led to him becoming the first PLD senator of Salcedo. In his new position in the Senate, he began extensive work within the concentration of different political forces. During the government of Dr. Joaquín Balaguer, he helped to create a Provincial Development Program, which was recognized both nationally and internationally, especially in the areas of health, education, drinking water, and loans for women-run businesses.

Fernandez married Lissy Campos in 1988; they have three children, Adriana Fernandez Campos, Antón David Fernandez Campos and Carmen Adela Fernandez Campos.

Fernandez admired and followed the doctrine and ideology of Professor Juan Bosch, becoming convinced that to better promote social welfare activities, he had to go into politics. He then decided to join the ranks of the new Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) political party in 1973. Since the party's inception Fernandez devoted himself to further party integration and the search for new supporters for the PLD, proposing the integration of new party members in the Province of Salcedo. He also campaigned on the party's behalf for three years in Madrid, Spain.
