Anay Beltrán Reyes

Anay Beltrán Reyes was a Mexican lawyer and Morena politician who rose from municipal organizing in Tultitlán, State of Mexico, to a seat in the Chamber of Deputies. She was born on September 27, 1981, in Tlapa, Guerrero, earned a law degree from Universidad Mexicana, and died on September 17, 2026, at age 45. Party sources told Infobae her death followed complications of pancreatic cancer that worsened in her final days.

Her political home was Tultitlán. In 2018 she served as Morena's municipal coordinator there and as a territorial operative coordinator for the party in the State of Mexico. From 2022 to 2024 she was secretary of the municipal government of Tultitlán and, in 2024, encargada de despacho of the municipal presidency, experience that positioned her for a federal run. Those years tied her public identity to a fast-growing municipality north of Mexico City and to the party's local structures.

On August 29, 2024, she took office as federal deputy for District 8 (Tultitlán de Mariano Escobedo) in the LXVI Legislature under majority relative election, with a term scheduled through August 31, 2027. In San Lázaro she was secretary of the Human Rights and Regime, Rules and Parliamentary Practices commissions and a member of the Political-Electoral Reform commission. Individually she filed initiatives on school curricula covering mental health, financial education, and nutrition, and on tougher penalties for trafficking minors involving audiovisual material for profit.

Ricardo Monreal, coordinator of Morena's Chamber caucus, announced her death on the morning of September 17 and called her a committed legislator and social fighter for her land and people. State of Mexico Governor Delfina Gómez and the national Morena leadership also issued condolences, describing a woman committed to the country's transformation and to citizens' causes. The Chamber planned a formal tribute with statements from parliamentary groups, after which substitute Jessica Juárez García (Yessica in SIL records) was expected to take the oath so District 8 would again have a sitting deputy.

Beltrán Reyes's last social-media post before her death referenced Mexico's Independence anniversary, and she had appeared in late August at a Morena group plenary looking publicly active. She left a short but clearly marked path from Guerrero roots through municipal administration into national legislative work on human rights and institutional rules, remembered by colleagues as devoted to her district and cut short by illness rather than by the violence that claimed other members of the same legislature.
