Loubriel presented his candidacy for the Senate of Puerto Rico before 2004. He ran for a candidate slot in the 2003 primaries obtaining the most votes in his district (Arecibo).[1]
In the 2004 general election, Loubriel won a seat in the 23rd Senate of Puerto Rico to represent the district of Arecibo, along with José Emilio González Velázquez. Loubriel finished in second place, with 123,503 votes (24.8%), more than 6,000 votes over the third candidate.[2]
Loubriel gained notoriety when he resigned to his seat two days after being sworn in. His vacancy was filled by Pedro Rosselló, who had just lost his bid for a third term as governor. As senator, Rosselló led a power struggle against fellow senator and party member Kenneth McClintock for the presidency of the Senate.[3][4][5] Because of this, several sources argued that Loubriel might have received money or benefits in exchange for his seat. Loubriel denied the charges.[6]
