Among the candidates listed in the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) DivulgaCandContas system as "confirmed" are Rachel Sheherazade, Geraldo Luís, Silvia Abravanel, Humberto Martins, Inês Brasil and Manoel Gomes, each trying to transform the visibility gained throughout their career into electoral capital (check out others below).
One of the names with the most experience in communication is Rachel Sheherazade, 52. Known for her career as a journalist and presenter, with a notable stint at SBT, she is running for a position as federal deputy for São Paulo for the PSD.
When announcing her entry into politics, Rachel sought to move away from traditional right and left labels and defined the party as a party with a moderate profile. She said, in a video, that she has "free thinking" and that she does not defend ideologies. Among the ideas he presents are the defense of social justice and dialogue.
Also coming from television, Geraldo Luís, 55, tries to bring to the stage the image built in popular programs and reports centered on life stories. The presenter, who worked for Record, RedeTV! and SBT, competes for a federal deputy seat for São Paulo through Avante.
When announcing his candidacy, he stated that he intends to represent voters directly in Brasília and criticized what he called "career politicians". Among the topics presented so far are public health and support for atypical families, especially in relation to the cause of autism, as detailed in some videos on his profile.
Silvia Abravanel, 55, comes to the contest with a career equally linked to television, but with an inevitable family component: daughter of Silvio Santos, she spent decades in front of the cameras and behind the scenes at SBT.
Candidate for federal deputy for São Paulo for the PSD, she left command of "Sábado Animado" to dedicate herself to the electoral project. The main themes announced so far are the inclusion of people with disabilities, support for the families of patients with rare diseases and animal protection policies.
Humberto Martins, 65, represents another path to politics: that of an actor with decades of career on Brazilian television. The Globo soap opera artist is contesting an election for the first time, as a candidate for federal deputy for the DC of Rio de Janeiro.
So far, the actor's electoral movement has been less marked by a detailed public platform and more by the decision to debut at the polls after a long artistic career.
Andréa Sorvetão, former paquita, actress and presenter, also entered the electoral dispute. She is a candidate for federal deputy for the DC of Rio de Janeiro. Xuxa's former assistant, with whom she does not have a good relationship, announced her candidacy in July and has adopted a speech linked to conservative agendas and the defense of the family.
Inês Brasil and Manoel Gomes, two phenomena that gained prominence on the internet and arrived at politics through very different paths than the traditional ones, will also try their hand at political life. Inês, 56, known for her viral videos and her irreverent presence on social networks, is running for a position as state deputy in Rio for the PSB.
When announcing his candidacy, he said that politics was "a big dream" and stated that he wanted to act for workers and to make laws work better. Manoel Gomes, 56, from the hit song "Caneta Azul", is trying to become a federal deputy for São Paulo through Avante, after his first electoral experience in 2022, when he ran for a state deputy seat in Maranhão and remained as a substitute.
The singer has not yet presented a detailed political platform and, when asked online about proposals, he replied: "I can't say now. It's not the time." When asked about his political spectrum, he evaded: "I'm more into myself."
