Maximiliano Abad (born 30 May 1977) is an Argentine politician affiliated with the Radical Civic Union (UCR), currently serving as a National Senator representing Buenos Aires Province since 2023. Prior to this, he was a member of the Buenos Aires Province Chamber of Deputies, where he represented the Fifth Electoral Section from 2015 until 2023, and also held office as a City Councillor in Mar del Plata.
Early life and education
Abad's origins trace back to Ranchos, Buenos Aires, where he was born, and he spent his early years in Santa Clara del Mar before relocating to Mar del Plata. He pursued legal studies at the National University of Mar del Plata and became actively involved in politics through Franja Morada, the student faction of the UCR. In 2004, he was chosen as president of the Argentine University Federation (FUA).
Political career
Abad entered electoral politics in 2007 when he ran for City Councillor in General Pueyrredón Partido (Mar del Plata), securing re-election in 2011 under the UDESO coalition. Known as a close associate of Ernesto Sanz and an advocate for the UCR–Republican Proposal alliance that established the Cambiemos coalition, he was elected to the Buenos Aires Province Chamber of Deputies in 2015 representing the Fifth Electoral Section, which encompasses General Pueyrredón and much of the Atlantic coastline. He successfully retained his seat in the 2019 elections.
In 2021, Abad assumed leadership of the Buenos Aires Province UCR committee. Heading the Juntos por el Cambio ticket, he secured the single minority senatorial seat for Buenos Aires during the 2023 general elections, thereby joining the Argentine Senate.
