Berhongaray headed one of the UCR lists in the Cambiemos P.A.S.O. primaries ahead of the 2017 Chamber of Deputies election, but lost to the PRO list, headed by Martín Maquieyra. In the 2019 legislative election, Berhongaray ran in the Juntos por el Cambio list to the Chamber of Deputies in La Pampa as the first candidate. The Juntos por el Cambio list was the second-most voted, with 39.42% of the vote, enough for just Berhongaray to be elected. As a national deputy, Berhongaray formed part of the parliamentary commissions on Natural Resources, Energy and Fuels, Elderly People, and Communications. He was an opponent of the 2020 Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy bill, which legalized abortion in Argentina. References
