Personal life
Carvalho is originally a lawyer, and is also a pastor of the neo-Pentecostal movement the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God.[3] Carvalho has his own radio show titled "Show da Cidadania" or "Show of Citizenship".[4]
Political career
Carvalho voted in favor of the impeachment against then-president Dilma Rousseff.[5] Carvalho voted in favor of the 2017 Brazilian labor reform, and would later back Rousseff's successor Michel Temer against a similar impeachment motion.[6]
Polygamy Bill
In late 2016 Carvalho proposed a bill that would make polygamy illegal in Brazil. The same bill regarded marriage as solely between a man and a woman, and would in theory make infidelity and same-sex partnerships illegal.[3]
