Senator Professora Dorinha is campaigning for the governorship of Tocantins, leveraging public investment announcements and regional rallies to build political support.

Initially, local mayors in Brasilândia and São Bento do Tocantins highlighted over R$ 18.3 million in investments directed by Dorinha toward municipal infrastructure, including street paving, daycare renovations, housing, and healthcare equipment. These mayors used the announcement of these works to endorse her candidacy.

As the campaign progressed into the Bico do Papagaio region, Dorinha held large-scale events, such as a gathering in Sítio Novo attended by approximately 13,000 people, which included endorsements from Governor Wanderlei Barbosa and Jair Farias. In Praia Norte, Dorinha focused her platform on healthcare infrastructure, pledging to prioritize the operation of regional hospitals, the construction of a new maternity hospital, and the implementation of local hemodialysis services.

Expanding her outreach, Dorinha addressed regional demands in Sítio Novo regarding imaging exam structures and the return of the IML to Augustinópolis. In Aragominas and Santa Fé, her campaign focused on rural connectivity, specifically the need for improved roads, bridges, and paving to better serve rural settlements.

Recently, Dorinha expanded her campaign into the Jalapão region. During meetings in São Félix do Tocantins, she met with mayors from Santa Tereza do Tocantins, São Félix, Mateiros, and Lizarda. These leaders expressed support for her candidacy, emphasizing the need for road paving and regional integration to connect the area to the borders of Bahia and Maranhão, thereby reducing administrative isolation and improving logistics.
