Budget amendments
An individual budget amendment is federal budget money that the senator earmarks for a project, a service or a transfer to a state or municipality. The earmark only becomes spending if the government commits and pays it. Amounts from 2023 until now, individual amendments only; caucus and committee amendments do not belong to one person and are not included.

Declared assets and election campaign

R$ 3.96M
46 declared assets
124% above the medianmedian for senators: R$ 1.77M

Where the data comes from and how to read it
- Source: open data from the Federal Senate (legis.senado.leg.br/dadosabertos) and the Senate transparency portal (CEAPS quota): votes, bills, rapporteur assignments and committees. Updated on Oct. 26, 2026.
- Average: simple average of the senators in office, calculated with the same files. For spending, only those with expenses in the period are included.
- Attendance: votes recorded divided by the roll-call votes in which the name appears on the list (since the start of the term or of taking office, for alternates). It is not attendance at sessions; an absence may involve leave, a mission or a justification.
- Party majority: compares the vote with that of the majority of the other senators of the same party in the same vote (the senator’s own vote does not count).
- Neutrality: RaisLife does not grade or give opinions on lawmakers. Differences from the average are facts for you to assess. This is data about the term and the office; it is not an evaluation of any candidacy or a request for votes, including for those running in the 2026 election. RaisLife is not an official source; check the official profile.
