María Isabel Maya Pineda (born 2 March 1969) is a Mexican politician affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
[1] Maya Pineda, who holds a degree in economics from the UNAM, began her public service career in 1993 as an auditor in the municipality of Ecatepec.
[2] She was a local deputy to the LIV Legislature of the Congress of the State of Mexico between 2000 and 2003, when she left the chamber to run for and win a seat on the city council of Ecatepec under a PRI banner in which future Governor Eruviel Ávila was the mayoral candidate.
[1][2] The PRI then designated her as candidate for federal deputy to the LIX Legislature of the Mexican Congress from the 13th district, and she won in a race where turnout plunged to 30 percent in some areas;[2] she had thus been elected to two public offices in under 120 days, and three over a period of three years.
[1] Voters in the 16th district, which includes parts of Ecatepec, sent Maya Pineda back to the Chamber of Deputies for the LXIII Legislature in 2015.
