Michelle Bolsonaro has officially launched her electoral campaign for the Senate in the Federal District. Describing her candidacy as a “mission” entrusted to her by former President Jair Bolsonaro, she debuted her campaign on the radio by highlighting her commitment to the rights of the deaf community, people with disabilities, and third-sector entities.

Her campaign rollout includes television advertisements featuring a musical jingle and mentions of fellow Senate candidate Bia Kicis. This development follows previous polling from Quaest, which placed her at the lead of the race for the two available Senate seats in the Distrito Federal with 25% of voter intentions.

Expanding her community-focused outreach, Bolsonaro, alongside Bia Kicis and Wellington Luiz, is organizing a charity diaper drive scheduled for September 16. The initiative aims to support Vila Pequenino Jesus, a facility in Lago Sul that cares for approximately 100 residents with physical and psychiatric disabilities and requires roughly 800 diapers daily. The three political figures released a video to promote the event, noting their long-term involvement with the institution.
