Paulo Roberto Ribeiro, 60 years old, was elected to his first term as a state representative, with his main political base being the municipalities of Taguatinga, Aurora, Ponte Alta do Tocantins, Combinado, Novo Acordo, and Almas, among others. The representative was born on September 14, 1953, but moved to Taguatinga, in southeastern Tocantins, as a child. Paulo Roberto returned to his birthplace, where he spent some time studying at the Liceu de Goiânia. He then enrolled in a Sociology course at the Faculty of Sociology, but did not complete it. As a businessman, he returned to southeastern Tocantins in 1984, when he began investing in limestone production.
