José Luis Osorio Navarrete (21 September 1894 – 11 September 1948) was a Chilean lawyer and Radical Party politician.[1]

Biography

He was the son of José Luis Osorio and Dorila Navarrete, and married twice: first in 1921 to Clarisa Silva Pérez and later in 1942 to Marta Fredes Fredes.[1]

He studied at the Internado Nacional Barros Arana and graduated as a lawyer from the Universidad de Chile in 1918, with a thesis titled La represión de la prostitución y la profilaxis de la sífilis.[1] Professionally he served as lawyer for the Banco Español, the Caja Nacional de Ahorros, and the Caja de Crédito Agrario, and also managed the agricultural estate “Chumpiro” in Angol.[1]

Political Activities

A militant of the Radical Party, he served as secretary of the Municipality and of the Intendancy of Malleco, and as delegate to the Central Committee of the party.[1]

He was elected Deputy for the 20th Departamental Group—Angol, Traiguén, Victoria and Collipulli—for four consecutive terms:

  • 1933–1937, serving on the Internal Government Committee;
  • 1937–1941, again on Internal Government;
  • 1941–1945, joining the Committees on Internal Government and Agriculture and Colonization;
  • 1945–1948, remaining in the same committees.[1]

He died in office on 11 September 1948. Because the next parliamentary election was near, the seat was not filled.[1]
