Between 2009 and 2010, he took on the role of Secretary of Labor, Social Assistance and Citizen's Rights at Salvador City Hall. In 2010, he was elected Federal Deputy by the Brazilian Labour Party (PTB), standing for re-election in 2014.[16] [17] In 2016, he left the PTB and joined the Social Democratic Party (PSD), at the invitation of Otto Alencar.[18] [19] As a member of parliament, he voted against the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff.[20]

Affiliated to the PSD, he was elected to office again in 2018 and 2022.[21] [22] He became leader of the PSD in the Chamber.[23] [24] In the 2025 President of the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil election, his name was widely rumored to be in the running for president of the Chamber of Deputies.[25] [26] [27] He withdrew his candidacy to support Hugo Motta, the candidate supported by Arthur Lira.[28] [29]

Odebrecht

An article published on the G1 news portal indicates that in 2010 the congressman received 100,000 reais from the Odebrecht company for his campaign, through the construction company's computerized payment system, and that he was codenamed “Misericórdia” on the company's list of bribes.[30] However, after the Supreme Federal Court (STF) opened an inquiry and more than a year of investigation, the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) concluded that the complaint should be dropped because there was no material evidence of the company receiving unaccounted for funds in the 2010 election campaign.[31] [32] [33]
