Personal life
[edit]Carlesse was born in Terra Boa in the state of Paraná, but moved to Tocantins to pursue a career in entrepreneurship. Before becoming a politician Carlesse worked as a businessman in the farming and animal husbandry industries in Tocantins.[1] In the mid-2000s Carlesse became the president of the rural union of Gurupi.[1]
Political career
[edit]Carlesse began his political career in 2011 and joined the Green Party.[1] The following year, he ran for mayor of Gurupi, receiving 16,713 votes or 42.78% of the total ballot, but ultimately lost the election to Laurez Moreira of the Brazilian Socialist Party.[2]
In 2013 Carlesse changed his membership to the Brazilian Labor Party and in 2014 ran for the state legislative assembly of Tocantins. He received 12,187 votes, managing to be elected to the 8th legislature in the Tocantins Legislative Assembly.[3]
In 2016 Carlesse joined the Humanist Party of Solidarity. On 8 July 2016 Carlesse was elected president of the Legislative Assembly for the 2017/2019 biennium. After 2018 elections the Humanist Party of Solidarity dissolved after it did not meet the membership threshold, and Carlesse joined the Democrats and took over the party's national vice presidency.[4]
Carlesse was elected governor of Tocantins during the 2018 Brazilian gubernatorial elections, after the incumbent Marcelo Miranda did not contest the governorship.[1]
