Life
Abramo obtained his degree in business administration from an institution in Saltillo in 1997. While pursuing his education, he held the position of sales manager at Inmobiliaria Iconosa S.A. de C.V. and led sales at Inmobiliaria y Constructora del Noreste, S.A. de C.V. Between 1995 and 2004, he was both owner and manager of Pecos Steak House.
Joining the PRI in the late 1990s, Abramo took on the role of deputy chief of financing for the party at the state level and established the Business Political Institute during 1998–1999. He was responsible for coordinating social outreach during the PRI’s 1999 municipal campaign in Saltillo, held leadership posts within the Confederación Nacional de Organizaciones Populares, and served as head of the PRI in Saltillo while also acting as a state party councilor.
After being elected to the city council in 2000, Abramo led Saltillo's public services department until 2005 and subsequently coordinated a state initiative covering "24 Municipalities of Coahuila."
In the 2006 elections, he secured a seat representing Coahuila’s fourth federal district in the 60th Legislature of Congress. He chaired a special commission investigating the Pasta de Conchos mine disaster, which resulted in the death of 65 miners, and participated on several important commissions such as Communications, Economy, Youth and Sports, and Cuenca de Burgos Region. Additionally, he served as a national PRI councilor.
From 2010 to 2013, Abramo held the office of municipal president of Saltillo and was vice president of the National Federation of Municipalities of Mexico for one year. Following this period, he relocated to Mexico City and assumed leadership as state president of Fundación Colosio, A.C., declining other offers for local or state positions.
During the 2015 midterm elections, he returned to serve in the Chamber representing Coahuila’s seventh district, acting as secretary for the Energy Commission as well as for Cooperative Development and Social Economy Commissions while also participating in three additional commissions.
Abramo publicly showed interest in pursuing the PRI candidacy for governor of Coahuila in 2017.
He was re-elected to represent Coahuila’s fourth district in the Chamber during the 2021 general election and successfully retained this seat again in 2024.
