Senator Washington Luís, who is the candidate for the presidential election under the current political administration, embarked on a visit to the scenic Serra do Mar area near Santos on Saturday, just two days ahead of the presidential election scheduled for Monday. His delegation included prominent figures such as the state governor, Carlos de Campos, and the mayor of São Paulo, José Pires do Rio, among other officials. The visit underscores the significance of regional support as they prepare for the impending election.

During the trip, the group traveled by car to observe the ongoing concrete paving work on the road leading to the Serra de Santos region. They also made brief stops, including descending to the Casqueiro River to inspect the construction of a new bridge. The excursion was aimed at showcasing the government’s infrastructure initiatives in the region, which serve to bolster urban connectivity and strengthen local economies.

After their visits, the delegation proceeded by boat on the Branco River for further exploration of the area before heading back to São Paulo. This visit not only highlights Washington Luís's campaign efforts but also emphasizes the importance of regional development projects in canvassing for votes just before the election.
