Rafael E. Martinez
Rafael E. Martinez (born April 26, 1950), is a Cuban-American lawyer. He is the brother of former Florida Senator Mel Martinez. Martinez was nominated in 2003 by President George W Bush to serve as a public delegate, representing the United States before the 57th United Nations General Assembly. He was confirmed by the United States Senate and served as a public delegate for that term.[1] Mr. Martinez was the 2003 United States' candidate to serve on the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the human rights arm of the Organization of American States.[2] Since his candidacy was unsuccessful, as of January 2004 there was no U.S. national on the seven-member Commission for the first time since its inception in 1959.
In early 2019, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appointed Martinez to the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority board.[3]
Rafael is married to Becky Martinez with whom he has three children, Rebecca, Will, and Maggie.
