Political career

She has since served as a federal deputy on four occasions: during the 58th Congress (2000–2002), for Hidalgo's first district;[2] the 61st Congress (2009–2012), for Hidalgo's sixth district;[1] the 63rd Congress (2015–2018), again for Hidalgo's first district;[3] and the 65rd Congress (2021–2024), as a plurinominal deputy for the fifth region.[4]

In 2022 she contended for the governorship of Hidalgo, representing a coalition between the PRI, PAN and PRD, but lost to Julio Menchaca Salazar of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5]

Viggiano Austria sought election as one of Hidalgo's senators in the 2024 Senate election, occupying the first place on the Fuerza y Corazón por México coalition's two-name formula.[6] The coalition placed second, securing Viggiano the state's third Senate seat for the 2024–2030 term.[7][8]
