Marziotta was the 5th candidate in the Buenos Aires City Unidad Porteña list to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies in the 2017 legislative election. The list received 21.74% of the popular vote, and Marziotta was not elected; however, on 23 December 2019, Daniel Filmus (the first candidate in the list) stepped down from his seat in order to be appointed as Secretary of Malvinas Affairs in the Alberto Fernández administration, and Marziotta was sworn in accordingly in Filmus's place.[5] She took office on 29 January 2020.[6]
