In the 2012 general election he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies to represent the 8th district of Chiapas for the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM) during the 62nd Congress (31 August 2012 – 16 July 2013).[1] He was subsequently elected to the Senate for Chiapas on the Morena ticket in the 2018 general election.[3][4]

Ramírez stepped down from his Senate seat on 1 February 2024[5] and ran for the governorship of Chiapas in the 2 June 2024 local election, representing the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition (comprising Morena, PT, PVEM and the local parties Chiapas Unidos and Mover a Chiapas).[4] He won the election with 79% of the vote, beating Olga Luz Espinosa of the Fuerza y Corazón por México coalition into a distant second place.[6]
