 Prefeito Paulistano - 2004: September 2004
Marta Suplicy (PT) seems to be benefiting from this late surge more than Serra: previously 76% of her supporters said they wouldn’t vote for anyone other than her; by the weekend this had risen to 80% compared to a rise of only two points for Serra, to 73%.
Marta hit the campaign trail in Guaianazes in the east of the city where she was joined by her son, the musician Supla, and former husband, the senator Eduardo Suplicy.
Marta was quick to contradict Dirceu: ‘He hasn’t yet seen the Ibope poll.’ It came out on Tuesday and showed that Serra was on 36% and Marta on 34%, effectively implying a tie at this stage given the 2-3% margin of error.

Sao Paulo Mayor Marta Suplicy still trails challenger Jose Serra by at least 7 points leading up to Sunday's election, but she is staging a last-minute rally of sorts that should keep Serra on his toes for the next few days.
Suplicy, meanwhile, has had her own grievances with the media saying in a recent interview that she was regularly persecuted in newspapers and on television though she didn't know why.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is keen on seeing Mayor Marta Suplicy overcome the odds and beat Jose Serra, considering she is a member of his ruling Worker's Party and a win for her would bolster Lula's re-election bid in 2006.

Marta Suplicy won the election, which was held in two rounds, leading the polls in public preference due above all to the support of the feminine vote, and also favoured by the situation of corruption and social insecurity in which the city of São Paulo had been left after two conservative administrations.
As she was ahead of the other candidates during the campaign, Marta suffered all kinds of attacks in the media.
Marta's interest in structuring her psychoanalytical background arose particularly in the late 70's, when there was a boom in interest in psychoanalysis in the country.

 News & Politics
Marta Suplicy of the Workers Party (PT), Brazil's most outspoken advocate for gays and lesbians during her tenure in Brazil's House of Deputies, seems headed for the mayoralty of South America's largest city, Sao Paulo, following elections October 1.
Suplicy, 55, most notably distinguished herself in Brazil's House of Deputies (1995 - 1998) on gay and lesbian issues with her 1995 sponsorship of a sweeping measure to extend most of the benefits of legal marriage to same-gender couples.
Although at first there were high hopes for its passage, despite Suplicy's best efforts it was repeatedly delayed over a period of years and it was clear several months ago it would not receive a vote until after the elections.

The newspaper even published a big story in which members of Suplicy's party had a negative opinion about her administration ("For PT members, administration lacks articulation") and an analysis of Suplicy's political behavior ("Mayor refuses to follow traditional political pattern").
This is even truer in the context of the administrative and financial chaos that Suplicy left her successor.

On Oct. 31, the day of the run-off election for mayor of São Paulo, I happened to see the incumbent Marta Suplicy ten minutes before the polls and her fate were sealed.
There has been talk that Marta lost the crucial middle-aged woman's vote because she did the unthinkable: dump her husband, Brazil's most popular politician, the irreproachable Senator Eduardo Suplicy, a champion of the minimum wage and other worthy causes, in favour of a younger, foreign chancer.
She changed the face of São Paulo public transport with two new tunnels in the posh part of town, a rapid bus route to the centre and a new single ticket valid on buses and the metro.

Brazilian sexologist Marta Suplicy, a vocal advocate for gay and lesbian civil rights, won the mayoralty of Sao Paulo by a near-landslide in a run-off election October 28.
Suplicy will serve a four-year term, and many believe that with any success in improving the city, she'll go on to lead her party, although she recently denied having any Presidential ambitions.
Suplicy called her victory, and that of 12 of 15 other PT candidates in mayoral elections, "a victory for all of the political forces and unions, for democrats and progressive thinkers against representatives of conservatism and of the prejudiced, authoritarian and dishonest right."

One of Suplicy's few actual campaign pledges is to "shut off the sources of corruption" and restore some order lost by mayor Celso Pitta's, who was twice removed for office for impropriety, but who twice battled back to finish his term.

 CNN.com - Left-winger moves to runoff in Sao Paulo mayoral race - October 2, 2000
SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- A left-wing politician was the apparent winner in mayoral voting in Brazil's biggest city, but she failed to gain enough support to avoid a runoff, according to unofficial results.
With 90 percent of Sao Paulo's 7.1 million votes counted Sunday, Marta Suplicy of the Workers Party had 37 percent, while her two nearest contenders were virtually tied with about 17.5 percent each, the Sao Paulo State Electoral Tribunal said.
"I think Marta and the PT (the Portuguese initials for the Workers Party) are honest and the most committed to finding solutions to the city's problems," said Pedro Alves Santoni, a 42-year-old attorney, as he left a polling station in Sao Paulo's posh neighborhood of Jardim Paulistano.
