Rebeca del Rosario Cofré Calderón (born 23 August 1962) is a Chilean politician and member of the Independent Democrat Union (UDI). In 2008 she was elected mayor of Chépica, a small commune in Colchagua Province, after running unsuccessfully for the same office four years before. She was re-elected to the office in 2012. In 2013, she was named as one of the 100 Leading Women of Chile by Mujeres Empresarias and the Economía y Negocios (Economy and Business) section of El Mercurio newspaper.
Rebeca Cofré Calderón was born on 23 August 1962, to Luis Antonio Cofré Farías and Rebeca de las Nieves Calderón Segovia, in Providencia, a district (comuna) of Santiago. In the 1970s Cofré's family moved to Pichilemu, then in Colchagua Province, where she attended the Escuela Doctor Díaz Lira (currently the Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre) with her sisters Francisca Javiera and Carolina de las Nieves. She attended high school at the Liceo C-25 (currently the Liceo Agustín Ross Edwards), with her class being the first to graduate from the school.
Cofré married in second nuptials Sergio Gustavo Reinaldo Schlack Harnecker (born 13 February 1928), on 16 February 2002, in Nancagua, Colchagua Province. The couple has resided in Chépica, a city south of Nancagua, ever since. She has three children.
According to her biography on the Chépica government website, Cofré decided to start her political career in 2000 because of her "great motivation for the protection of the people's dignity, mostly of the working women".Pichilemu News, an online newspaper from Pichilemu, states that she "emulated" her husband, farmer Sergio Schlack, who was a National Renewal regional adviser representing Cardenal Caro Province in the 1990s.
