Kelly Olmos

Raquel Kismer was born on 12 December 1952 in the Villa Urquiza neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, in her own words, a "working-class barrio [that led to her] becoming a peronist". She studied economics at the University of Buenos Aires Faculty of Economic Sciences, eventually graduating with a licenciatura degree. In addition, she has a magister's degree on urban economics from Universidad Torcuato di Tella. Olmos is the daughter of Holocaust survivors and speaks Yiddish. She is married to Orlando Olmos, with whom she has three children. She describes herself as a feminist. ==Political career==

Olmos' political career began under the wing of Carlos Corach, former interior minister to Carlos Menem. Her first elected post was to the Deliberative Council of Buenos Aires in 1993, before the adoption of the new city constitution which reformed the council into the City Legislature. She also served as a member of the City Legislature from 1997 to 2000, as part of the Justicialist Party bloc backing President Menem. On 10 October 2022, Claudio Moroni resigned from his position as Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Security. President Alberto Fernández designated Olmos to the post, and she assumed office on 13 October 2022. It was one of three cabinet appointments made that day, alongside Ayelén Mazzina (to the Ministry of Women) and Victoria Tolosa Paz (to the Ministry of Social Development). ==References==
