Antonio Fas Alzamora is the second-longest serving member of the Puerto Rico Legislative Assembly.

After serving in the Puerto Rico House of Representatives from 1973 to 1976, representing his native Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, in 1976 he was elected a Senator from the Mayagüez Senatorial District, and reelected in 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992 and 1996. In the year 2000 he was elected as Senator at-large and elected unanimously in January, 2001, as the twelfth President of the Senate of Puerto Rico, a post he held until 2004. He was reelected that year as Senator at-large, but his party's delegation size dropped from 18 to 9, becoming the principal minority party in the Senate. He relinquished the delegation's leadership to Senator José Luis Dalmau, who now serves as Minority Leader after having served as Fas' Majority Leader.
