Political history
From 1980 to 1997 she was affiliated with the PT party (Workers’ Party). In 1997 she changed to the PSB party. Due to disagreements within PSB that decided to support the impeachment process against president Dilma Rousseff, Erundina switched to party PSOL in March 2016.[1]
Erundina served on the São Paulo city council from 1983–1987. From 1987–1988 she was a state deputy for the state of São Paulo. She was São Paulo's mayor from 1989 to 1992, and is currently a federal deputy from São Paulo. She was re-elected in 2002 and again in 2006, in 2010, in 2014 and in 2018.
Education
Erundina was born to a very poor family. Notwithstanding with the obstacles, she managed to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Social Service from Federal University of Paraíba. She also holds a Master's degree in Sociology from University of São Paulo.
