Zambelli has a profile aligned to the political right, being economically liberal and socially conservative.[4] In 2017 she declared herself a monarchist, after conversations with members of the imperial family.[5] She is against the quota policy, except for people with disabilities.[3]

In the elections of 2018, she was elected federal deputy by the PSL.[6][7] She said that her line of action in the Chamber of Deputies will continue to be the fight against corruption. According to Zambelli, this will be done through three pillars: "less state, more justice and real education."[3]

Controversies

In June 2017, Zambelli accused Wadih Damous and Paulo Pimenta, Members of the Chamber of Deputies, of stealing. Pimenta notified law enforcement who briefly held her in custody.[8][9] The deputy, however, did not formalize any complaint against Zambelli.[10]

In 2018, Zambelli was condemned over her online accusations of pedophilia against Jean Wyllys, a political opponent.[11] After court battles, she organized a Crowdfund among her supporters, refusing to pay legal damages personally.[12] In September 2019, the magazine Veja claimed she used her political influence to have her son enter the Colégio Militar de Brasília, without passing through the regular process of enrollment. [13]

In 2020, she accused the government of Ceará of burying empty coffins in an attempt to inflate COVID-19 death statistics, using as "evidence" a photograph taken in 2017 in another state.[14] This prompted the state government declaring their intent to sue her for defamation. [15]
