She was a member of the [[Argentine Senate]] representing [[Santa Fe Province]] from 2001 to 2015.

Latorre was educated in Rosario and worked extensively as a teacher. She served Governor [[Carlos Reutemann]] as subsecretary of administrative reform for Santa Fe, then was provincial director of the Third Age 1995–1997.

Latorre was elected as a national deputy for Santa Fe in 1997. She was elected to the Senate in 2001 and was re-elected in 2003 for a six-year term. She attempted to become a candidate for the governorship of Santa Fe against her own party ahead of the 2007 elections but dropped out in July 2007.<ref>[http://www.ellitoral.com/index.php/diarios/2007/07/13/politica/POLI-06.html Roxana Latorre renunció a la candidatura], ''[[El Litoral]]'', 13 July 2007.</ref>

In February 2009, after Reutemann, also a Justicialist Senator from Santa Fe and her political mentor, announced he was quitting the pro-government [[Front for Victory]] block in the Senate, Latorre followed him and announced her break with the block as well, in a political blow to President [[Cristina Fernández de Kirchner]] and her husband, Justicialist Party president, and ex-president of the Republic, [[Néstor Kirchner]].
