won despite her less advantageous placement at the bottom of the party's electoral list, a product of the MAS's sweep over nearly the entirety of Oruro's parliamentary delegation that cycle. Tenure Sworn in at the beginning of 2015, Espinoza joined other newly inaugurated female legislators in composing the largest caucus of peasant and indigenous women ever elected in Bolivian history. In a legislature noted for its historic number of young people, Espinoza stood out as one of the body's seniormost members, one of just a handful born before the National Revolution of 1952. Her tenure focused mainly on the rights of indigenous peoples, be it through the procurement of their political autonomy, preservation of their cultural artifacts, or promotion of historical traditions and folklore. At the end of her term, Espinoza was not nominated for reelection, reflecting the MAS's general disinterest in developing long political careers for the party's elected legislators in favor of promoting the incorporation of new faces in parliament.
