Political career
Leite voted in favor of the impeachment against then-president Dilma Rousseff and political reformation.[2] Leite would later back Rousseff's successor Michel Temer against a similar corruption investigation and impeachment motion.[3] Leite voted in favor of 2017 Brazil labor reform.[3]
In September 2018 Conselho Indigenista Missionário (Indian Missionary Council), an activists branch of the Catholic church for indigenous people of Brazil, named 50 Brazilian politicians who had done the most to weaken the rights of indigenous people in Brazil, of which Leite was included in.[4][5]
