Mayra Migdonia Montaño Guisamano aka La Bombón (born 23 December 1955) is an Ecuadorian radio hostess and politician. She was elected to Ecuador's national assembly before she became a Municipal Councilor of Guayaquil, representing Urban Constituency 1 for the Social Christian Party.
Life[edit]
Montaño was born in San Lorenzo in 1955 in the province of Esmeraldas. At the age of 15, she moved to Guayaquil[1] where she ventured into radio and then television. She was an announcer for Radio Canela who was known as "La Bombón".[2] She was recruited for the program Divinas, on Canal Uno. She was one of six presenters raising issues that were of concern to women.[2]
In 2013 she was an unsuccessful candidate for vice-prefecture for the Social Christian Party, with César Rohón.[1]
She was chosen as one of the lead candidates by the Social Democratic party in 2016 for the February 2017 legislative elections.[3] She was elected to be a national assembly member representing Guayas Province.[4][5]
Within her functions as an assembly member, she drafted different bills including one to reform the law against crimes including murder committed against children and adolescents.[6] She was a critic of the assembly's poor productivity when she was identified as an "independent" in 2018.[7]
In 2019 she resigned from the assembly to run as a candidate for Guayaquil Municipal Councilor representing urban constituency 1. She won the corresponding seat as the councilor with the highest votes in the city with 222,766 votes supporting her.[8] In the first of the Guayaquil's council sessions of 2024 she called for unity given the poor state of security in the city.[9]
