Cynthia Iliana López Castro (born 18 February 1987) is a Mexican politician formerly affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). From 2018 to 2021 she served as a plurinominal deputy in the 64th Congress representing the fourth electoral region, which includes her birthplace in Mexico City.[1] She was re-elected to the same position in 2021 for the 65th Congress.[2]
She was previously elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Federal District in 2015 and served as one of the assembly's vice-presidents during her term in office.[3]
López Castro won election as one of Mexico City's senators in the 2024 Senate election, occupying the first place on the Fuerza y Corazón por México coalition's two-name formula.[4][5] On 29 October she resigned her membership in the PRI because of "differences with the party's current leadership", stating that she would remain in the Senate as an independent.[6]
