Chamber of Senators

Elections

Шаблон:Main During her time in university, Ferreira became a supporter of former president Carlos Mesa. When Mesa presented his presidential candidacy on behalf of the Civic Community (CC) alliance, she joined the coalition as its departmental coordinator in Pando. In the 2019 general elections, CC presented an all-women roster to top its senatorial party list, with Ferreira as its candidate for first senator for Pando. Though the results of that election were annulled, she was once again presented in 2020. In winning that election, she became the youngest legislator in the Senate at thirty-one years old.

Tenure

Prior to taking office, CC elected Ferreira as the alliance's deputy leader in the Chamber of Senators. In accordance with its internal regulations, she assumed the leadership of CC's Senate caucus on 14 September 2021, succeeding Andrea Barrientos, who resigned four days prior after a minor controversy. Ferreira affirmed that CC was "satisfied with the work that Andrea did as [its] head", considering the case closed and maintaining that it had not affected the opposition's unity. She held the post until the renewal of CC's directive on 3 November, when Guillermo Seoane was chosen to lead it for the 2021 to 2022 Senate session.

Ferreira's agenda in the Senate prioritized issues of interconnectivity between Pando and the other departments of the country. She has advocated for the expansion of Pando's domestic production sector in order to create new jobs and reduce the amount of natural resources being processed in other departments, stating: "we cannot allow our natural resources to continue to be pillaged without a penny arriving as a royalty". Ferreira has also called for an increase in Pando's health budget and the connection of its electrical grid with the national system.
