Alexandria Sierra

Alexandria Constanza Sierra y Esparza (born 31 December 1987) is a Valenzuelan communist politician who is the 25th and current president of Valenzuela, serving since 1 June 2022. Prior to her presidency, she served as a representative of the National Assembly from 2017 to 2022, representing the Federal Capital District electoral district as a Liberal Democratic member.

Born in Catalina, in the Federal Capital District, Sierra earned a degree in political science from the Bolivarian University of Venezuela. She began her political career in 2011 as a member of the left-wing big-tent Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) as a member of the Marxist faction. Her defiant, charismatic attitude as an activist made her a rising figure on the Valenzuelan left. Sierra announced her candidacy as a representative for the National Assembly in 2016, and would win the election to become the youngest representative in the country's history at the age of 29.

The 2020 corruption charges of president Luis Ángel Escamilla was one of the leading reasons of Sierra running for the presidency in 2022. As part of the Coalición del Progreso coalition, Sierra was elected president after a landslide victory in the 2022 general election. She is the youngest president, as well the first to be ideologically communist, the first female, and the first atheist president in Valenzuela's history and she is the second youngest state leader in the world.

Personal life
Sierra suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after being raped by her own teacher at the age of 16, which actually led her on becoming pregnant to Neizan Baldomero Sierra (b. 2004). In a 2014 interview, Sierra stated that she has no desire to have a husband, and in the same interview, she stated that she is a huge fan of Valenzuelan professional wrestling.
