Senator Izalci Lucas took his campaign for a seat in Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies into the Senate, distributing campaign cards during the week of concentrated legislative activity.

He did not spare his colleague Tereza Cristina, a senator from Mato Grosso do Sul who votes in that state. With campaign material in hand, Lucas asked her for support in her office, saying: “You know a lot of people in Brasília.”

The card he distributed had one notable omission: it did not carry the number of presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro.

You know a lot of people in Brasília.
