The Mayor of Campo Grande is the head of the executive branch of the municipal government in Campo Grande, first established on August 16, 1899, the office has evolved to oversee the administration and governance of the city, which is a key economic and cultural hub in the region. The mayor is responsible for managing public services, implementing policies, and ensuring the well-being of residents. The position is held for a four-year term, with the possibility of one consecutive re-election. The current mayor, Adriane Lopes, took office on April 2, 2022.
The Executive Branch is represented by the Mayor and his Cabinet of Secretaries, following the model proposed by the Federal Constitution. Since 2017, districts have been administered by subprefectures, with their heads appointed directly by the mayor.[1]
History
[edit]Campo Grande started as a small village founded in 1877 by farmers José Antônio Pereira and Manoel Vieira de Sousa (a.k.a. Manoel Olivério), who came from Minas Gerais just after the end of the Paraguayan War. They founded the village, known at that time as Santo Antônio de Campo Grande, near the Serra de Maracaju cliffs, at the confluence of two streams named Prosa and Segredo (Portuguese for "conversation" and "secret," respectively), whose courses now coincide with two of the city's most important avenues. In the end of 1877, the founder built the village's first church. The roughly aligned houses formed the first street, known as Rua Velha (Old Street), today Rua 26 de Agosto (26 August Street). This street ended where today one finds a square in honor of the immigrants that later came to the city.[2]
The city started to develop relatively fast because of its privileged climate and location. These factors drew people from other regions of the country, especially the South, the Southeast and the Northeast regions. The settlement was officially recognized as a municipality by the State Government on August 26, 1899, and renamed Campo Grande.
Political changes
[edit]Throughout its history, the position of mayor has seen various changes in its selection process. During the Revolution of 1930, the mayor was deposed and replaced on the same day Getúlio Vargas became the President of Brazil. The mayor’s election process was later changed to secret ballot voting. There have been periods, such as during the Vargas Era and the military dictatorship, when the mayor was appointed by the state governor. Democratic elections for the mayor were resumed in 1985. In 2014, Mayor Alcides Bernal was impeached, and his deputy, Gilmar Olarte, took over. However, Olarte was later removed from office, and Bernal returned as mayor following a judicial decision.
Current mayor
[edit]As of 2022, the Mayor of Campo Grande is Adriane Lopes, who assumed the position after the resignation of Marquinhos Trad.[3][4]
