Political figures in Amazonas are advancing various regional agendas. Marcellus Campêlo, a candidate for state deputy, has proposed reforms centered on expanding basic sanitation, eliminating open-air landfills, and providing technical assistance to municipalities to mitigate climate change impacts such as floods and droughts.

Campêlo emphasized the need to expand access to treated water, sewage networks, drainage, and waste collection. He intends to advocate for state support for municipalities through technical and financial assistance, including the use of parliamentary amendments, to protect public health and the environment.

Concurrently, vice-governor candidate Alessandra Campelo has engaged with the European Union’s Electoral Experts Mission to discuss regional electoral logistics. Her discussions focused on the difficulties of transporting voting machines to remote and indigenous areas in a territory of continental dimensions. Campelo also addressed systemic challenges facing women in politics, noting that the 30% candidate quota does not ensure equal opportunity due to male-dominated party leadership and domestic responsibilities. She further reported experiencing political violence of a gender-based nature and highlighted the role of the Regional Electoral Court of Amazonas (TRE-AM) in managing these complexities.
