Personal life edit

Manato is the son of Hélio José Mannato and Thereza Buteri Mannato, and is married to Soraya de Souza Mannato.[1] Manato is a member of the Pentecostal church Igreja Cristã Maranata [pt].[2][3]

Political career edit

Manato voted in favor of the impeachment motion of then-president Dilma Rousseff.[4] Manato voted in favor of tax reforms but against the 2017 Brazilian labor reform,[5] and would vote in favor of opening a corruption investigation into Rousseff's successor Michel Temer.[6]

There was some controversy over the funding Manato and several other elected deputies had received from the Maranata church, in exchange with the government not investigating the church's financial activities.[7][8]

In 2018 Manato joined the Social Liberal Party and allied himself with then presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro.[9] The same year Manato contested the Espírito Santo gubernatorial election, where he came in third with 525,973 votes or 27.26% of the valid ballots.[10]
