He received the majority of votes and became President of the Municipal Legislature. He was elected state representative (1947-1950) and congressman (1951-1953) as a member of the Social Democratic Party (PSD). He began his work in June 1953, acting as Minister of Justice and Minister of Internal Affairs until the suicide of President Getúlio Vargas.
