Biography
Born in Monte Aprazível, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Barbudo began his political career in the city of Alto Taquari, a city located in the state of Mato Grosso. He first ran for councillor of Alto Taquari in 2004 and succeeded, being elected with around 281 votes.[3][4] He tried to run for re-election as a councillor in the 2008 Alto Taquari elections, but his candidacy was rejected by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).[5]
After these two electoral disputes and a long period without running for any other elected office, Barbudo once again gained notoriety through content disseminated via social networks defending the positions of the then federal deputy Jair Bolsonaro. As a result, he ended up being the most voted federal deputy in the state of Mato Grosso in the 2018 elections.[6][7] He ran in the 2022 Brazilian general election for re-election as a federal deputy, but lost the race, staying as an alternate of the party in the state.[8] With the death of the federal deputy Amália Barros on 12 May 2024, it was expected for him to take her seat definitively, as he is the first alternate of the Liberal Party in the state of Mato Grosso.[9] He took office on 21 May 2024.[10] Barbudo is Roman Catholic.[11]
