Edgar Fernández

Edgar Luis Fernández (born 11 November 1971) is a Bolivian cab driver, politician, and trade unionist who served as a party-list member of the Chamber of Deputies from Santa Cruz from 2010 to 2015.

Born in Totora, Fernández spent most of his life residing in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. He settled in the city's district, where he got his start providing share taxi services. At age 18, Fernández joined his local drivers' syndicate, progressively rising through the union's ranks throughout the early 2000s.

A member of the Movement for Socialism since 2001, Fernández actively worked to align his sector's unions with the party, resulting in a long-lasting political alliance. After two failed runs for public office in 2004 and 2005, Fernández was elected to represent the Santa Cruz Department in the Chamber of Deputies in 2009. He was not nominated for reelection.
