In 2004, he assumed the general directorate of DNIT, remaining in that position until December 2005.
He was a federal deputy in the Legislature from 2007 to 2011, elected by the Popular Socialist Party (PPS).[2] He was re-elected federal deputy by the PSD for the 2011–2014 term. In January 2011, Alexandre Silveira took over the Extraordinary Secretariat for Metropolitan Management in Minas Gerais. He was also Secretary of State for Health in 2014.
Also in 2014, he was elected first substitute for former governor Antonio Anastasia. He became a senator in 2022, with the resignation of Anastasia to assume the post of minister of the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU).[3][4][5][6] He ran for an election in his own right in 2022, but lost to Cleitinho Azevedo.
