Geraldo Alckmin












Geraldo Alckmin was born in Pindamonhangaba, in São Paulo on 7th November, 1952. He is married to Maria Lúcia Alckmin and has three children: Sophia, Geraldo and Thomaz. Geraldo Alckmin was graduated in Medicine. His political career started in 1972. When he was 19 years he was the most voted councillor in his home town. For the MDB he became the youngest mayor of Pindamonhangaba.

In 1988 he was one of the founders of the “Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB)” and he became the vice-governor in Mário Covas’ govern in 1994. In 2000 he was candidate defeated in the election for São Paulo’s mayor. In January, 2001 he became our governor when Covas die, and was reelected in 2002. Now he is the candidate for the presidential election and he has good chances to be the new president of Brazil.

In spite of not being fond of politics, I believe Geraldo Alckmin is kind of an idol because he is really honest and his ideas to improve the country are really interesting. He has already done many things specially when he was the governor of São Paulo and I think Brazil will be a better place to live if Geraldo wins the election.
