==Early career==
A popular radio anchorman, fond of amateur theater, Garotinho entered politics through grassroots activism, joining the Brazilian Communist Party and helping to reorganize the sugar-cane workers' union in Campos.〔Paul Freston, ed. ''Evangelical Christianity and democracy in Latin America''. Oxford University Press, 2008, ISBN 978-0-19-517476-2 , page 168〕 He entered electoral politics in 1982, presenting himself as candidate for a councilman seat in the same city on the Workers' Party ticket, failing to be elected because the party's list of candidates didn't achieve the necessary threshold of ballots to have a representation in the Municipal Chamber. Afterwards, he joined the Democratic Labour Party (PDT), being elected for the State Legislature (1986) and winning the Campos mayoral elections in 1988. After his term as mayor of Campos (1989–1992), during which he took some measures to support small producers and to develop alternatives to sugar cane monoculture,〔Yves Fauré & Lia Hasenclever, eds., ''Novos Rumos para a Economia Fluminense: Oprtunidades e Desafios para o Crescimento do Interior''. Rio de Janeiro, e-papers, 2008, ISBN 978-85-7650-154-1 , page 121〕 as well as supported MST settler projects,〔Helena Lewin, ed., ''Uma Nova Abordagem da Questão da Terra no Brasil: O Caso do MST em Campos dos Goitacazes''. Rio de Janeiro, 7 Letras/FAPERJ, 2005, ISBN 85-7577-170-1〕 he was chosen by Governor Leonel Brizola as State Secretary of Agriculture (1993–1994), presenting himself as the PDT's candidate for Governor in the 1994 elections, being defeated by Marcelo Alencar (PSDB). After being reelected for mayor in 1996, he was eventually elected Governor of Rio de Janeiro State in 1998, for the 1999-2002 term of office,〔Cf. Gilberto Velho,ed.,'' Rio de Janeiro: cultura, política e conflito ''. Rio de Janeiro: Jorge Zahar Editor, 2007, ISBN 978-85-378-0033-1 ,page 77〕 posing himself as the "crown prince" for Brizola, who had already entered a process of political decay and loss of charisma and personal influence.〔Camille Goirand, '' La politique des favélas ''. Paris: Khartala , ISBN 2-84586-123-0 page 102〕
