Marinha Raupp

Marinha Célia Rocha Raupp de Matos (born 23 November 1960) more simply known as Marinha Raupp is a Brazilian politician as well as a psychologist and professor.

Political career
Before becoming a politician she worked as a psychologist and a professor of psychology.

Raupp contested the 2018 Brazilian general election, but received 18,223 votes or 2.33% of the cast ballot in Rondônia which was not enough for her to be reelected to the post of federal deputy.

In early 2019 Raupp was appointed to be the advisory of an unnamed senator from Mato Grosso. The move raised some ire in the Brazilian media as despite her seemly minor role Raup still received a salary of RS$23,000 a month and she will be able to retire with a pension of RS$33,000 a month.
