Alencar was first elected as a Councillor, representing the city of Rio de Janeiro for two consecutive terms (1989-92 and 1993-97). He was also elected as a state deputy, representing the state of Rio de Janeiro at the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro for a single term (1999-2003) and as a federal deputy representing the state of Rio de Janeiro at the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil for four consecutive terms (2003-07; 2007-11; 2011-15 and 2015-19).[1]
