Marcelo Crivella

Marcelo Crivella began his professional life as an engineer, but built his public profile primarily as a gospel singer, missionary, and religious leader affiliated with the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. He also worked as a communicator, writer, and public figure within the religious community, achieving national recognition before holding any elected office.

His political visibility predates his party affiliation, stemming from his religious and media activities, which allowed him to build his own electoral base, especially among evangelical voters.

After leaving the municipal executive branch, he returned to the legislature as a federal deputy, maintaining a trajectory marked by alternating between legislative and executive positions.

In the House of Representatives, she works on issues related to religious freedom, urban policies, social issues, and the conservative agenda on customs. She participates in committees related to urban development and public policies.
