Lopez served as
2nd district councilor from 2007 until 2010. He served as representative of the same district to the
House of Representatives for three terms from 2010 to 2019. Lopez's notable laws proposed in the Congress was to require the
Department of Public Works and Highways to finish the road they had already started. His term ended in 2019, when he became term-limited. Lopez sought for a congressional comeback for the same district in
2022 under his cousin and mayoral candidate
Alex Lopez's local ticket, but lost to incumbent Rolan Valeriano. In 2024, he coalesced with former Mayor
Isko Moreno under the slate dubbed ''Yorme's Choice'' aiming to reclaim his former congressional post in
2025. However, he lost once again to Valeriano. ==Electoral history==
