Baixada Santista representatives declare support for 2026 presidential candidates

Following the recent elections, several representatives from the Baixada Santista region have publicly declared their support for the 2026 presidential race between Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).

Federal Deputy Rosana Valle (PL), who also serves as the president of the PL Women's State Executive, has explicitly endorsed Flávio Bolsonaro. She stated her intention to work with him to ‘rescue our nation.’ Other elected officials in the region have also begun signaling their political alignments through social media and campaign events.

In the broader political context of São Paulo, recent electoral trends suggest a shift in voter priorities. While the left has historically emphasized social inclusion, current data indicates that voters in the state are increasingly prioritizing combatting crime as a primary concern.
