Guerrera was born on 2 February 1971 in General Pinto, a partido in the North-west of Buenos Aires Province.[1] In his youth he joined the Justicialist Party's Peronist Youth, becoming the secretary-general of the General Pinto Peronist Youth aged 25.[2] He served as a member of the General Pinto city council and, in 2003, Guerrera became intendente (mayor) of General Pinto as a member of the Front for Victory coalition.[3][4]
In 2016, Guerrera joined the Renewal Front led by Sergio Massa. In 2019, as a member of the newly formed Frente de Todos (of which the Renewal Front is part), Guerrera was elected as a member of the Buenos Aires Province Chamber of Deputies in the Fourth Electoral Section.[5]
In 2020, Guerrera was appointed president of Trenes Argentinos Infraestructura (also known as ADIF, a state-owned train infrastructure company), succeeding Ricardo Lissalde.[6] Following the death of Transport Minister Mario Meoni in a car accident on 23 April 2021, Guerrera was appointed as the new Minister of Transport of Argentina on 3 May 2021.
Guerrera has stated his opposition to the nationalization of the Paraná-Paraguay riverway.[7]
In November 2022, Guerrera announced he would step down from his position in the ministry for health reasons. He was replaced by Diego Giuliano, also of the Renewal Front.[8]
