She worked as an exam coach and Area coordinator of Labour and Social Security in the Centro de Estudios Velázquez-ADAMS between 1986 and 1990. She is an officer of the Social Security Management Body and the Employment Management Scale of the INEM (National Employment Sistem).

Political career

In the 1999 local elections she was elected councillor in the Guadalajara City Council, and was re-elected in 2003 when she was appointed second deputy mayor and councillor for Economy, Finance, Procurement, Heritage and Citizen Participation. In September 2005 she was appointed Minister of Labor and Employment of Castilla-La Mancha and, in 2007, Minister of Tourism and Handicrafts. In September 2008 she became the regional Minister for Public Administration and Justice. In the regional elections of 2007 she headed the list of the PSOE for Guadalajara, winning a seat in the Regional Cortes.

In July 2008 she was elected a member of the Regional Executive Committee of the PSOE of CLM and in October of the same year was elected General Secretary of the Municipal Executive Committee of Guadalajara Capital. Also, from 2000 to 2012 she was a member of the Regional Committee of the PSOE of CLM. In May 2010 she stood down from the Government Council to be appointed a delegate to the Board of Communities of Castilla-La Mancha. That same year she won the primaries to be a PSOE candidate for the Guadalajara City Council. After the Socialist defeat in the elections of 2011, she went on to lead the opposition at City Hall.

Heading the PSOE ticket in Guadalajara in the general elections of 2011, she won a seat in Cortes Generales.

Minister of Labour, Migrations and Social Security

The new Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, following the motion of censure that the PSOE tabled against the previous government of Mariano Rajoy (PP) and that was carried on 1 June 2018, appointed her as Minister in the new Spanish government. Felipe VI sanctioned by royal decree her appointment as holder of the portfolio of Minister of Labour, Migrations and Social Security. On 7 June she was sworn into office before the King at Zarzuela Palace.

In February 2020 she was chosen by the Socialist group to chair the "Pacto de Toledo" Parliamentary Committee for Pension Reform.
