Miguel Alberto Romero (born February 17, 1970) is a Puerto Rican lawyer and politician, and the former Secretary of Labor and Human Resources of Puerto Rico and Chief of Staff of Puerto Rico.
Romero was born on February 17, 1970, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This young professional gained his elementary education in Puerto Rico's public school system. At the age of 17 he was accepted by the University of Puerto Rico to pursue a bachelor's degree in social sciences. While going to college, he also attended hospitality school where he learned the skills he would later use in his union job as a casino croupier, a position that provided his first exposure to collective bargaining agreements.
He graduated from Interamerican University of Puerto Rico School of Law summa cum laude and first in his class. After graduation, he obtained the highest grade in his Bar Exam, being one of a handful of hopefuls in Puerto Rico to ever achieve a perfect score in that test. Romero is admitted to practice law in the state of Florida, the Federal Court in Puerto Rico, the Central Florida Federal Court and the Supreme Court of the United States.
He joined the Government of Puerto Rico in 1993, working for the Youth Affairs Office. Then he moved up to La Fortaleza – the Governor's Mansion – where he worked in the Municipal Affairs Office during the day, while seeking a law degree from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico School of Law in the evenings.
In 1998, then-Governor Pedro Rosselló nominated Romero as associate member of the Appellate Board of the government's personnel administration system. Two years later, he was designated president of that entity, serving in that capacity until 2004, being the youngest member of the cabinet at the time of his nomination. Romero then practiced as a private trial lawyer, specializing in labor relations.
