Biography

[edit]

Born in Porto Alegre in 1975, Brizola moved to Uruguay at 3 years old as her grandfather Leonel went into exile during the military dictatorship. On her mothers side, she is the granddaughter of aeronautic captain Alfredo Daudt,[2] who was one of the service members who stopped the take-off of FAB jets that were sent to bomb Piratini Palace during the Legality Campaign.

In 1982, she moved to Rio de Janeiro as Leonel became the governor of the state. Brizola graduated with a law degree from Universidade Santa Úrsula in Rio de Janeiro. After she finished her studies, she returned to Porto Alegre, where she took specialization courses and later mastered in criminal law at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul.[3]

In 2008, she became a councilwoman in Porto Alegre as part of the PDT. She was the most voted for candidate from the PDT.[3][4]

Brizola was elected a state deputy in Rio Grande do Sul in 2010, being elected with 61,305 votes, becoming once again the most voted candidate from her party.[5] During her campaign, she emphasized her plan for governance where she emphasized education, following the policies of her grandfather.[6] During her first term, she passed a law in the state assembly that created a constitutional amendment changing the Escola de Tempo Integral project into a state project.[7]

During the 2014 elections, she became a first substitute of the PDT; However, with the mandate of Diogenes Basegio being revoked by the regional election courts, Brizola became a state deputy once again.[8] She was reelected in 2018 with ~43,000 votes, with the largest percentage of her vote share coming from her grandfather's home city of Carazinho.[9] She later would become the leader of the PDT in the state legislative assembly.[10]

In 2020, she ran to be the mayor of Porto Alegre with a PDT-led coalition. She came in 4th place with 41,407 votes, thus not advancing to the second round.[11] In 2022, she was elected as a first substitute for federal deputy.[12]
