Bolsonaro's Other Sons Campaign for Power in Southern Brazil
While eldest son Flavio runs close with Lula in the presidential race, brothers Carlos and Renan seek Senate and lower house seats, according to France 24.
Beyond Flavio Bolsonaro, who is running neck-and-neck with Lula in Brazil's presidential race, other sons of former president Jair Bolsonaro are campaigning in the shadow of their father, France 24 reported.
Carlos Bolsonaro, officially nominated by the Liberal Party, is seeking a Senate seat for the first time, while his younger brother Renan is running for a seat in the lower house of Congress, according to the report.
France 24 said that in southern Brazil, a region loyal to former president Jair Bolsonaro, the family name alone is enough to win support.
