In the general elections of 2013 he was a candidate in Sicily for the Senate of the Republic in the Party of Sicilians (in second position, after the leader Raffaele Lombardo), however he was not elected, as the party did not exceed the threshold of 3% regional level and remains a member of the Ars.
