Trajectory
João da Silva Maia , better known as João Maia , is a Brazilian economist and politician born on September 20, 1953, in Brejo do Cruz (Paraíba) . He holds a degree in Economics and began his political career representing Rio Grande do Norte , a state for which he was elected federal deputy in the 2006, 2010, 2018, and 2022 elections . He is currently serving his term in the 2023–2027 legislature for the Progressive Party (PP-RN) after a long career also in the Liberal Party (PL). His work focuses on advocating for issues such as infrastructure, regional development, and the promotion of economic competitiveness, with a strong electoral base in the interior of the state and consolidated party articulation throughout several elections.
In institutional political activity, João Maia plays a relevant role within the Rio Grande do Norte delegation and in the federal parliamentary context. He is a member of the National Integration and Regional Development Committee and an alternate member of committees such as the Agriculture, Livestock, Supply and Rural Development Committee and the Administration and Public Service Committee , spaces that allow him to work on structuring agendas for the economy and the countryside. Throughout his career in Congress, he has held positions of party vice-leadership , reflecting his experience and articulation within the House. In addition, he actively participates in the coordination of the Rio Grande do Norte delegation , where he contributes to defining state and federal budget amendments and priorities.
In his legislative work , João Maia has presented bills aimed at promoting connectivity, streamlining services, and strengthening productive sectors. Among his recent proposals are Bill 2603/2025 , which extends tax benefits related to fees and contributions levied on small satellite stations, expanding connectivity in small towns and rural areas; Bill 2604/2025 , which grants expanded prerogatives to registry office officials for search and seizure warrants for motor vehicles; and Bill 4160/2025 , which deals with the allocation of space in electricity distribution infrastructure to expand high-speed internet, supporting the universalization of connectivity. Furthermore, he played a role in advancing Bill 4635/2024 (attached to Bill 2603/2025) , which extends until 2030 the exemption from fees for small satellite terminals, benefiting remote locations and rural schools. His legislative career also includes previous proposals such as Bill 2768/2022 , which sought to establish transparency and operational rules for digital platforms, and projects focused on the development of highways in Rio Grande do Norte, highlighting efforts in infrastructure and digital inclusion.
