MAYOR AND ANESTHESIST
The 53-year-old politician who now wants to be president joined the MDB (Brazilian Democratic Movement) in 1972, at age 19, and was elected the most voted councilor in Pindamonhangaba, the city where he was born on November 7, 1952. The circumstances of Geraldo attending the Faculty of Medicine of Taubaté, joining the academic directory and give classes in biology and organic chemistry in a pre-university course, which also prepared for exams supplementary. He cast 1,447 votes.
In the following election, in 1976, he became mayor at the age of 24. The victory at the polls was due to a difference of only 67 votes. During his term, he completed a medical course and specialized in anesthesiology, on weekend shifts, at the State Civil Servant Hospital, in the capital. Afterwards, he worked as an anesthesiologist at the Santa Casa de Misericórdia in Pindamonhangaba.
The second legislative term, of state deputy, was conquered with the expressive figure of 96,232 votes, in 1982. The first elections for the Assemblies, Chamber of Deputies and Senate after the military dictatorship made Alckmin a federal deputy, in 1986, for the PMDB. He would not complete the term for the same party. In 1988, a year before the election of Fernando Collor and Lula's debut as a presidential candidate, Alckmin founded the PSDB (his own membership form is the seventh) in the company of also dissident PMDB members Mário Covas, Fernando Henrique Cardoso and José Serra. The year 1990 marked his first election by the PSDB, once again as a federal deputy.
The long partnership with Mário Covas and the renowned almost 12 years of experience in the government of São Paulo began in the 1994 campaign, which was quite lavish for the toucans. Fernando Henrique arrived at Palácio do Planalto and Covas arrived at Palácio dos Bandeirantes, with Alckmin as vice-governor, after having been president of the PSDB of São Paulo for two terms. The duo (incidentally, the trio tucano, including FHC) was reelected in 1998 in charge of the largest budgets in the country. In the 2000 campaign, Alckmin, a politician who had not lost an election since 1972, faced his first setback at the polls, being defeated in the dispute for the city of São Paulo.
Sick, Covas died on March 6, 2001. Alckmin took over the government of São Paulo and for months made the reservation that the style of public administration continued being that of the former master, from whom he absorbed the slogan "management shock", an update of "capitalism shock", from Pits. The beginning of his solo career takes place in the re-election for governor in 2002, aboard more than 12 million votes. Alckmin's intentions of running for the Palácio do Planalto also began to materialize at this time.
