Claudia Tello Espinosa[a] (born 16 October 1964) is a Mexican politician from the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). She has sat in both chambers of Congress.
Political career
Tello Espinosa earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from the Universidad Veracruzana. She also holds a master's in educational science and a doctorate in rational education and biolearning. She worked as a secondary school teacher for more than 20 years and, as a member of the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE), opposed the reforms to the education system proposed by President Enrique Peña Nieto in 2012. In 2013 she joined the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[1]
In the 2018 general election she was the alternate of Daniela Griego Ceballos, who successfully contended Veracruz's 8th electoral district (Xalapa Rural) for a seat in the federal Chamber of Deputies. Shortly after the election, however, Griego's candidacy was ruled invalid and Tello assumed the seat for the duration of the 64th session of Congress.[1][2] She was re-elected to the seat in the 2021 mid-terms.[3]
Tello was elected as one of Veracruz's senators in the 2024 Senate election, occupying the first place on the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition's two-name formula.[4][5] After the election, however, incoming governor of Veracruz Rocío Nahle García announced that she wanted Tello to head the Veracruz state education department during her term in office;[1] Tello's seat in the Senate was taken up by her alternate, Raquel Bonilla Herrera, on 26 November 2024.[6]
On 27 July 2026, Governor Nahle reshuffled her cabinet: Bonilla was appointed state education secretary, with which Tello returned to her seat in the Senate.[7]
