He served as the mayor of Valparaíso, Chile's second largest city, from March 1990 to March 1992 and again from 26 September 1992 until 6 December 2004. Under Pinto, Valparaíso was declared Chile's "Cultural Capital" in May 2003 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2003.[1]
In 2009, Pinto ran for the Senate of Chile seeking to represent the Quinta Costa constituency, but lost the election.[1]
Pinto ran to regain his old job, Mayor of Valparaíso, in 2012.[1] He won the primary election over Paula Quintana to win the Christian Democratic Party (PDC) nomination in the mayoral general election.[1] However, Pinto was defeated in the Valparaíso mayoral general election by incumbent Mayor Jorge Castro Muñoz.[1]
On 3 July 2020, Pinto was admitted to Clínica Reñaca, a hospital in Viña del Mar, for respiratory failure caused by COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile.[1] He remained on a ventilator in the hospital's intensive care unit from July 3 until his death.[1] Hernán Pinto died in the hospital from complications of COVID-19 on 29 July 2020, at the age of 67.[1][2]
