Lovera began his career in trade unionism as a delegate of the health insurance fund OSECAC in his home town in 1992. In 1994, he became Secretary of Sports and Tourism of the commercial union of General Pico, and starting in 2002, he was secretary general of the commercial union (being re-elected in 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018). In 2003, he was elected comptroller of OSECAC nationwide. In 2007, he was elected to the Legislature of La Pampa, and was re-elected in 2011. From 2011 to 2015 he was president of the Justicialist Party
parliamentary bloc in the legislature. In 2013, during his time as a
deputy of La Pampa, he introduced a bill to limit the working hours of commercial establishments in the province: the bill was approved unanimously.
National senator In the
2015 legislative election, Lovera was the first candidate in the
Front for Victory (FPV) list to the
National Senate, followed by
Norma Durango. The FPV list won 45.85% of the vote and was the most-voted list in the province, granting both Lovera and Durango the two seats for the majority as per the Senate's
limited voting system. He was sworn in on 4 December 2015. Lovera originally formed part of the Front for Victory
bloc, but joined most other FPV senators in breaking away and forming the
Argentina Federal bloc following the
2017 legislative election. Following the
2019 general election, Lovera formed part of the
Frente de Todos bloc alongside most other peronist senators. During the 2020 debate, Lovera stated that "in a fair country, little girls are not mothers and no person is forced to gestate". Lovera did not stand for re-election in
2021, and his term expired on 10 December 2021. ==References==
