In 1997, voters sent Estefan to the Chamber of Deputies for the first time, in the LVII Legislature of the Mexican Congress, representing the now-defunct 13th district centered on his birthplace of Acatlán de Osorio.[2] He sat on a variety of commissions, primarily financial, such as Programming, Budget and Public Accounts; Finances and Public Credit; Special to Investigate the Mexican Social Security Institute; and Special to Investigate the Federal Electricity Commission and Central Light and Power.[1] While a deputy, Estefan obtained his master's degree in municipal- and state-level public administration from the National Public Administration Institute, and he also briefly served as the PRI's national subsecretary of social management.[1]

In the early 2000s, Estefan returned to various civil service positions, mostly in the Mexican Social Security Institute. He coordinated advisors, headed the Institutional Linkage Unit, and between 2002 and 2005, was a regional director for southern Mexico.[1] He left the IMSS in 2005 in order to serve as the Secretary of Social Development of Puebla, a position he abandoned in order to run again for the Chamber of Deputies, this time from the 14th district based in Izúcar de Matamoros. In the LX Legislature, between 2006 and 2009, Estefan presided over the Finances and Public Credit Commission and sat on those dealing with Social Development, Social Security, and Budget and Public Accounts.[1]

In 2015, Estefan resigned from BANSEFI in order to make a third successful run for the Chamber of Deputies, again representing the 14th district. In the LXIII Legislature, Estefan presides over the Infrastructure Commission and serves on two others: Finances and Public Credit, and Budget and Public Accounts. In March 2016, he left the Economy Commission.[1]

In March 2016, the PRI in Puebla tapped Estefan as its new president,[3] replacing Isabel Allende Cano,[4] who left in order to take a position in the federal government.
