Campos entered politics while still in university, when he was elected as president of the Economics College Student Academic Center. In 1986, Campos turned down an opportunity to take a Master's degree in the United States of America in order to participate in the campaign which elected his grandfather Miguel Arraes as governor of Pernambuco.
With Arraes' election, in 1987, Campos took up the position of Chief of Staff. In this period he was responsible for the creation of the first Science and Technology Secretariat of the Northeast – Secretaria de Ciência e Tecnologia do Nordeste – and the Science and Technology Support Foundation-Fundação de Amparo à Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (Facepe).
Legislative Assembly
Campos joined the Brazilian Socialist Party – Partido Socialista Brasileiro (PSB), in 1990. In the same year, he was elected state representative and garnered the Leão do Norte award granted by the Legislative Assembly of Pernambuco to its most active members.
National Congress
In 1994, Campos was elected Federal Representative with one hundred and thirty three thousand votes. However, he left the post to join the government of Miguel Arraes as Government Secretary and Treasury Secretary, between 1995 and 1998. In this last year, he ran for a new tenure of Federal Representative and reached the record number of 173.657 thousand votes, the biggest polling in the state.
In 2002, being for the third time a member of the Federal Congress, Campos was the articulator of Lula's government in the Social Welfare and Fiscal Reforms. For three consecutive years, he was on the list of the Inter-Union Department of the Parliamentary Advisory Board – Departamento Intersindical de Assessoria Parlamentar (DIAP), amongst the 100 members who had been most influential in the National Congress.
Science and Technology Ministry
Campos took office in 2004 as Science and Technology Minister – the youngest member among those appointed for the first tenure of President Lula. During his administration, the Ministry re-elaborated the strategic planning and reviewed the Brazilian Space and Nuclear Energy Programs.
The action that had the strongest repercussion, during his stay in the ministry, was the approval of the Biosafety Program, which allows the use of embryonic stem cells and trans-genetics for research aims. He also achieved unanimously in Congress, the approval of the Technological Innovation Law, resulting in the regulatory framework for enterprises, universities and research institutions. Another important action during Campos' tenure in this office was the creation of the Brazilian Public Schools Mathematics Olympics – considered to be the biggest Mathematics Olympics in the world in number of participants.
Leader of the Brazilian Socialist Party
In 2005 Campos became the National President of the Brazilian Socialist Party – Partido Socialista Brasileiro. However, at the beginning of 2006, he left this post in order to run for the government of the state of Pernambuco, by the Popular Front. In 2011, he was re-elected president of the party, with tenure until 2014.
