Biography
Alexandra Arce was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on 31 July 1977. She studied at the Laica Vicente Rocafuerte University, graduating with a degree in commercial engineering.

In the 2009 Ecuadorian provincial elections, Arce was elected to the City Council of Durán as a member of the PAIS Alliance. During her time on the council, Arce was set against the policies of Mayor Dalton Narváez, of the Social Christian Party. In May 2010, Arce filed a complaint with a prosecutor against the mayor and his mother, former Mayor Mariana Mendieta, over allegations of a physical attack and corruption in Narváez's government. In the 2013 Ecuadorian legislative elections, Arce was elected to the Ecuadorian National Assembly for Guayas Province and representing the PAIS Alliance. She resigned from her seat in November of that same year to stand for election in the 2014 Ecuadorian provincial elections for the mayoralty of Durán, and defeated Dalton Narváez, who sought reelection.

In 2023 she returned to the National Assembly after the mass resignation, that year, created by the out-going President Lasso.
