Ana María Ianni

Ana María Ianni (born 21 September 1969) is an Argentine politician, currently serving as National Deputy elected in Santa Cruz since 2023.

Ianni was born on 21 September 1969 in Buenos Aires.

She studied a professorship on educational sciences at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (UCA), graduating in 1991.

In 2001, she graduated as a higher technician on tourism from the University of Morón.

In 2001, she traveled to El Calafate, Santa Cruz, and decided to become a tourist guide there.

She continued to work as a tourist guide for a private agency until 2007.

She is married and has three children.

In 2007, the mayor of El Calafate, Javier Belloni, appointed Ianni as secretary of tourism of the city.

Ianni previously served in the same position from 2011 to 2015, and later served as a National Senator for Santa Cruz from 2017 to 2023.

She is a member of the Justicialist Party.

She continued to work in the municipal government until 2011, when she was elected to the National Chamber of Deputies as part of the Front for Victory list.

Later, when her mandate ended in 2015, she was elected to the City Council of El Calafate, a position she held until 2017.

In the 2017 legislative election, Ianni was elected National Senator for Santa Cruz, as part of the Unidad Ciudadana list.

The list received 32.07% of the vote, coming second behind the Cambiemos list, and so Ianni was elected for the minority seat.

In the Senate, she formed part of the parliamentary commissions on Budget and Finances, Internal Security, Industry and Commerce, Mining and Fuels, Infrastructure, Housing and Transport, Environment and Sustainable Development, Population and Human Development, Science and Technology, Education and Culture, Sport, Health, and Women's Affairs.

In 2018 and later in 2020, she voted in favour of the legalisation of abortion in Argentina.
