After graduating, in 2015 Náñez Pro joined the campaign team of the independent candidate to the Nuevo León Governatorial State elections, as legal advisor to Manuel Florentino González Flores, general coordinator of the campaign, of the then independent candidate to the governorship of State of Nuevo León, Jaime Rodríguez Calderón.[4]

Presidential Election of 2018

On March 15, 2018, after the National Electoral Institute (INE) declared inconsistencies in the signatures presented by "El Bronco", the candidate was refused registration as independent candidate to the Presidency of Mexico, as his attorney, Javier Náñez Pro, filed before the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Branch of México (TEPJF) four means of challenge requesting the judicial authority to rule in favor of independent candidate and order his registration as candidate for the presidency of Mexico.[9][10][11][12]

On April 9, 2018, the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Branch of México (TEPJF) held a public session where they discussed the matter and by a majority of four votes in favor, they resolved and requested the immediate registration of Rodríguez Calderón as an independent candidate for the 2018 Mexican Presidencial elections.[13][14][15]
