Political career
editAhead of the 2015 legislative election, Masin was nominated as the second candidate in the Front for Victory (FPV) list to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, behind Analía Rach Quiroga.[4] The list received 53.75% of the votes, and both Rach Quiroga and Masin were easily elected.[5]
For the 2019 general election, Masin was the first candidate in the Frente de Todos list; she faced off in the P.A.S.O. primaries against the list supported by former governor Domingo Peppo.[6] Masin's list, which was in turn supported by former governor Jorge Capitanich, won the primary election.[7] The Frente de Todos won 56.70% of the votes in the deputy category, and Masin was elected alongside the second candidate in the list, Aldo Leiva.[8][9]
As deputy, Masin was a vocal supporter of the legalization of abortion in Argentina, and voted in favor of the two Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy bills that passed the Chamber, in 2018 and 2020.[10]
In June 2021, she was elected second vice president of the Resistencia chapter of the Justicialist Party.[11]
