Maria Concepcion "Concha" Ortiz y Pino de Kleven (born May 23, 1910) was an American politician from New Mexico. In 1936, she became the sixth generation of her family to serve in the New Mexico legislature. Her father, Jose Ortiz y Pino, spent 10 years in the state House of Representatives. In 1941, at age 30, she became Democratic majority whip, the first woman to hold such a position in state government. President Kennedy appointed her to the National Council of Upward Bound. Ortiz y Pino founded the state's first educational program dedicated to traditional Hispano crafts, the Colonial Hispanic Crafts School, in Galisteo in 1929. She advocated for bilingual education, disabled and women's rights.
