Senator Marcio Bittar seeks reelection in 2026 after political career in Acre and Congress

In 2026, two senators were elected in each state and in the Federal District, to renew 54 of the 81 seats. Therefore, each voter voted for two different candidates.

Marcio Miguel Bittar, 63 years old, is a livestock farmer, born in Franca, in São Paulo, and has been in the Senate since 2019, with a term scheduled until 2027. Before that, he served as a federal deputy for Acre. The Senate currently registers Bittar as a senator for PL.

His political career began in 1999, when he served as federal deputy until 2003, in addition to having already been a state deputy. Throughout his career, he worked for parties such as PMDB, PPS and PSDB.

In 2004, he ran for Mayor of Rio Branco for the first time for the PPS. That year, he declared that he had no assets, and was not elected. Two years later, in 2006, he also ran for government of Acre for the PPS. He declared R$892,486.28 in assets, but he also did not win the election.

In 2010, he ran again for a position as federal deputy, this time for the PSDB. He declared R$1,765,024 in assets and was elected. In that election, Bittar was the most voted federal deputy in Acre, with 52,183 votes, equivalent to 15.27% of the valid votes.

In 2014, he tried again to reach the state government through the PSDB. He declared R$1,579,724.31 in assets, but was not elected. Four years later, in 2018, he ran for the Senate for the MDB and was elected. That year, he declared R$6,549,631.34 in assets.

In 2022, he ran again for the government of Acre, this time for União Brasil. He declared R$3,323,739.26 in assets, but was not elected. Now, in 2026, Bittar is trying to return to the Senate for a new term. His current parliamentary term began in 2019 and ends in 2027.
