Political career
From 1997 to 2005, Rodrigues served as mayor of Belém.
As a Federal Deputy, first elected in 2015, Rodrigues did not support the impeachment process against then-president Dilma Rousseff.[1]
He returned to municipal politics in the 2020 Brazilian municipal elections, presenting himself once again as a candidate for mayor of Belém. With around 52% of the votes, he was elected to the position.[2]
