Political career

Early political career

Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda became a member of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) political party in 2015, encouraged by the principles of the Party's National Leader back then, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. She already had a trajectory as a lawyer and scholar; [11] nevertheless, she ran as a candidate for Local Representative of the 3rd District in State Congress; even though she did not win, Avila assures to have "succeeded in the streets" because of the connection she had made with the electorates. At the end of this election, in 2016, she was titled as Coordinator of  Organization for Morena in Mexicali, Baja California.

Campaign for federal representative (2018)

In 2018, Marina del Pilar ran as a candidate for Federal Representative to the 2nd electoral district, by the "Juntos Haremos Historia" (Together We Will Make History) coalition, consisting of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA), the Labor Party (PT), and the Social Encounter Party (PES). [12] Proposing on early debates to lower public transport fees for college students and elderly adults and lower taxes in her state. [13]

In this electoral process, Avila received violent threats for her to abandon the race; [14] she was also a victim of gender and political violence, as she recalls in a Yahoo! News interview:

"When I made public my intentions to participate as a candidate, the Delegate of Morena in Baja California, in 2018, told me he was interested in me. I didn't understand it as violence; I even began apologizing if I ever conducted myself in a misinterpreted manner. Yet I kept working with the limitation I had gotten from this person. Even after all that, I managed to become a candidate. It is something I've kept quiet for so long because I was too ashamed to share it." [15]

After everything mentioned before, the candidate continued her campaign, taking a strong position against violence towards women. Del Pilar spoke openly about the necessity to embrace investigation protocols and strengthen capacitance for public servers that deal with femicides, likewise, she calls to reinforce prevention and attend the signs of violence in the early stages of relationships and domestic violence seriously. [16]

That is how on 1 July 2018, Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda became a federal representative to Baja California's 2nd congressional district at the LXIV Legislature in the Chamber of Deputies of the General Congress of the United Mexican States. It came to be a historic election for Mexico; parallel to Avila's triumph, Andrés Manuel López Obrador became President of Mexico, passing in history as the country's most voted President of the country. [17]

Avila began her functions as a federal representative on 1 September 2018, participating as secretary in the Metropolitan and Urban Development, Territorial Planning and Mobility Committee, and member in the Committees of Northern Border Affairs, Governance and Population. [18] Regarding her work in Congress, her highlights are her passed initiatives to increase the penalty for those who commit the criminal act of sexual tourism; the other one is to typify the acts of domestic violence as a felony that requires pre-trial detention. [12]

Other notable contributions in her labor as Congresswoman include the reduction of value-added taxes in Mexico's northern border, the transparency at disclosing state assets, attention to the migratory crisis in the state, reduction of public transportation fees, and the releases of resources towards renovating International Border Crossing in Mexicali. [19]

On 15 April 2019, her first public appearance was at 7 am at a busy crossroad, accompanied by fellow party members and supporters. [20]

During the electoral process, Marina del Pilar was once again a target of political violence regarding her gender and also suffered a series of attacks on her personal life, which she has stated before in interviews:

"(…) I was pointed out for my physical appearance, even my smile was a topic up for debate, issues that aren't important for candidacy, nor for the wielding of public service.". [21] "(…) I encountered an extremely violent campaign against myself and my external appearance, also the simple fact being a young woman and a single mother too, at the time. They didn't spare my private life either, like my daughter; they still do so today." [15]

On 29 May 2019, the campaign for Mayor's Office came to an end. In front of thousands of citizens, Avila closed with these priority issues: security, excellence in public services, improved roadways, the decline in air contamination and better infrastructure for the city. [22]

On the day of election, 2 June 2019, Marina del Pilar triumphed as the new City Mayor, with 45.46% of the votes. [23] On 13 June, the Institute of Electoral Elections of Baja California gave Avila her constancy of majority, [24] acknowledging her officially as Mayor-Elect of Mexicali.

Avila got recognition for running her campaign alongside a program titled "Wellness for Baja California's Youth Agenda," created by young people. It covered topics like culture, sports, sustainability, security, welfare, and establishing mechanisms to guarantee youth participation in public policies. [38]

Marina del Pilar was a victim of verbal attacks qualified as political and gender violence by the Tribunal of Electoral Justice of Baja California. [39] Nevertheless, the candidate's poll numbers were not affected thanks to efficient use of social media, [40] intertwined with her physical campaign, she became a favorite to obtain the title of Governor.
