Alberto Goldman (Portuguese pronunciation: [awˈbɛɾtu ˈɡowdmã]; São Paulo, 12 October 1937) is a Brazilian engineer and politician. He was elected Vice Governor of São Paulo in 2006 with Governor José Serra. After Serra's resignation, Goldman became governor of São Paulo on 6 April 2010.[1]
Goldman started coursing engineering in the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo when he was 18.[2] When the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état took place, he was a militant of the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), that was outcast by law. Soon after the AI-5, he became a member of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB).
After the end of the MDB in the late 1970s, he became a member of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB). He went back to PCB but ended up switching it for PMDB in 1987.[2] From 1992-1994, he served as the Transport Minister of Itamar Franco presidency. In 1996, he left PMDB and became a member of PSDB and was elected two years later a federal deputy.
He served as governor of the state of São Paulo from April 2010 to January 2011, replacing José Serra that resigned from office in order to run for the presidency in 2010, and was succeeded by the current governor Geraldo Alckmin.
He currently serves as acting National President and National Vice President of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party. The withdrawn president is senator Aécio Neves, who was the candidate of the party in the 2014 race for the presidency.[3][4]
