Jesús Julio Carnero García (born 5 March 1964)[1] is a Spanish People's Party (PP) politician.

Born in Aspariegos, Province of Zamora, Castile and León, Carnero graduated in law from the University of Valladolid.[1]

Carnero spent 80 days in hospital, of which 61 in intensive care and 35 in a coma, from June 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. He had three near-death experiences from pneumonia during that time.[1]

In January 2023, Carnero was chosen as the PP candidate for mayor of Valladolid in the May elections.[2] His party won 11 of 27 seats on the city council, the same as the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) of incumbent mayor Óscar Puente, who received marginally more votes.[3] The PP reached an agreement with the three councillors of Vox to form a majority government, in which Vox leader Irene Carvajal became deputy mayor.[4]

He was elected to the 15th Senate of Spain in the 2023 Spanish general election from Valladolid.[5]
