María Lucila Masin (born 31 May 1984) is an Argentine politician. She served as a National Deputy elected in Chaco Province, first elected in 2015 for the Front for Victory, and later re-elected in 2019 as part of the Frente de Todos.
Masin was born on 31 May 1984 in Villa Ocampo, a city in the General Obligado Department of Santa Fe Province. She completed a degree to be a professor of Education Sciences at the National University of the Northeast. [1] She has one child. [2]
Masin's political activism began in a Kirchnerist political organization in Chaco, called La Pingüina. [3]
Ahead of the 2015 legislative election, Masin was nominated as the second candidate in the Front for Victory (FPV) list to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, behind Analía Rach Quiroga. [4] The list received 53.75% of the votes, and both Rach Quiroga and Masin were easily elected. [5]
For the 2019 general election, Masin was the first candidate in the Frente de Todos list; she faced off in the P.A.S.O. primaries against the list supported by former governor Domingo Peppo.
