Alexis Raúl Guerrera (born 2 February 1971) is an Argentine teacher and politician. Since 2023, he has been a member of the Buenos Aires Province Chamber of Deputies, a position he previously held from 2019 to 2020. Since 2024 he has also served as the Chamber's president.

He was Minister of Transport of Argentina from 2021 to 2022, in the cabinet of President Alberto Fernández; he was appointed following the death of his predecessor, Mario Meoni, in a car accident on 23 April 2021.

Guerrera also previously served as intendente (mayor) of his hometown of General Pinto from 2003 to 2019, and as president of Trenes Argentinos Infraestructura, a state-owned subsidiary of Ferrocarriles Argentinos. A former member of the Justicialist Party and the Front for Victory, Guerrera joined the Renewal Front in 2016.

Early life and career

Guerrera was born on 2 February 1971 in General Pinto, a partido in the North-west of Buenos Aires Province.[1] In his youth he joined the Justicialist Party's Peronist Youth, becoming the secretary-general of the General Pinto Peronist Youth aged 25.[2] He served as a member of the General Pinto city council and, in 2003, Guerrera became intendente (mayor) of General Pinto as a member of the Front for Victory coalition.[3][4]

In 2016, Guerrera joined the Renewal Front led by Sergio Massa. In 2019, as a member of the newly formed Frente de Todos (of which the Renewal Front is part), Guerrera was elected as a member of the Buenos Aires Province Chamber of Deputies in the Fourth Electoral Section.[5]

In 2020, Guerrera was appointed president of Trenes Argentinos Infraestructura (also known as ADIF, a state-owned train infrastructure company), succeeding Ricardo Lissalde.[6] Following the death of Transport Minister Mario Meoni in a car accident on 23 April 2021, Guerrera was appointed as the new Minister of Transport of Argentina on 3 May 2021.
