Before assuming his post in the cabinet, Lozano served as federal congressman in the Chamber of Deputies, where he led a group of conservative Anti-Maderistas along fellow deputies Nemesio García Naranjo of Nuevo León, Francisco de Olaguíbel of State of Mexico, and Querido Moheno of Chiapas.[2] At Huerta's request, he also tried to build a legislative majority sympathetic to his regime.[3]
