Career

Since then, Dalmau-Ramírez has quickly risen in the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP)’s hierarchy, serving as a Legislative Adviser for Senator Manuel Rodríguez Orellana and Fernando Martín, before being elected to serve as Party Commissioner in Municipality Affairs and PIP Secretary General. Juan Dalmau-Ramírez currently serves as the Electoral Commissioner of the Puerto Rican Independent Party to the Puerto Rico State Electoral Commission (CEE), in addition to his position as Secretary General.

Dalmau-Ramírez is considered by some to be the next PIP's gubernatorial candidate for the November 2008 elections; others view Dr. Edwin Irizarry Mora, an economist and tenured professor at the University of Puerto Rico (Mayaguez), as the more probable choice of the PIP's members and grassroot constituency. Dalmau and current PIP's Senator María Santiago Esq. are seen by some political pundits as possible successors in the Presidency of the Puerto Rican Independence Party, seat held by Rubén Berríos Martínez.
