Tarcísio plans changes to at least three São Paulo secretariats
Tarcísio de Freitas is preparing changes to his São Paulo state government after being re-elected in the first round.
The Tourism and Travel, Sports, and Women’s Policies secretariats are expected to get new leaders, with announcements due in the coming weeks.
The changes are meant in part to accommodate political allies, including parties that backed Tarcísio’s election campaign.
Natalia Resende, now in charge of Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics, is expected to move to the powerful Civil House post.
Health Secretary Eleuses Paiva has asked to leave, and the government is looking for someone to replace him.
The new appointments will shape Tarcísio’s second term, while some other changes are also expected for separate reasons.

What people are saying
We have to see what the situation is at the time and, of course, I will be finishing my second term here in the state of São Paulo. Finishing the second term well obviously opens up the possibility of running for president.
