Alba Iris Rivera Ramirez is a Puerto Rican politician affiliated to the New Progressive Party (PNP).

During her first term, she was a member of thirteen commissions, and served as her party speaker in some of them (Education, Social and Cultural Development, Health and Environmental Quality).

In 1992, Rivera served as executive director of the Puerto Rican Office of Woman's Affairs, under Pedro Rossello's tenure as governor.

The duo was heavily featured in El Vocero, becoming known as "Minga y Petraca", in reference to a folkloric pair of fictional characters.

After four consecutive terms, Rivera was defeated by Sonia Pacheco, from the Popular Democratic Party (PPD), at the 2012 general election.
