Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Brazilian American born in Ladario, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. My parents were farm workers who moved to South Florida in the 1980s. I graduated from North Miami Senior High School. I have been married for over thirty married in the 1990s. In 2018, I moved to Colorado. I'm a very proud mother of three daughters and grandmother of two boys. I was the Unity Party of Colorado candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2022, along with Paul Noel Fiorino for Governor. I was the first woman to be on the ballot for statewide office as a Unity Party candidate.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• To make our country a more representative democratic republic, I propose to elect a unicameral Congress by Hybrid Proportional Representation (HPR). All political parties should have fair representation in Congress. The United States is stuck with an archaic winner-take-all election system that was originally designed to exclude 94% of the people from representation. We should join the 95 countries that now use proportional representation voting methods to secure fair, inclusive representation for a politically diverse population in their legislatures.
• I oppose foreign military aid and foreign military intervention. The legitimate purpose of the military is to defend US territory, not to project power overseas. Foreign military bases should be shut down. We must end the US government’s involvement in endless wars and cut the destructive waste of the world’s largest military budget. The United States must stop providing military aid and political support for governments that violate human rights.
• We need to declare a climate emergency. Our lives depend on transitioning to an environmentally sustainable economy as soon as possible. I support carbon taxes to reduce our ecological footprint. We need to enact responsible environmental regulation to protect the commons: land, air, and water.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I support livable wages, a universal basic income, a universal health care system, and especially a publicly funded quality education, including child care facilities, pre-k through 12, college, and homeschooling.

Tell us your favorite joke.

The word "politics" is derived from the root words "poly" - meaning many - and "ticks" - meaning blood sucking parasites.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Yes

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Unity Party of Colorado.

Gary Swing, Unity Party candidate for State Senate District 18.

Campaign website

Munhos de Aquino Sirianni’s campaign website stated the following:

“	I support proportional representation to secure fair, inclusive multiparty representation in Congress and State legislatures. I agree with Cornel West that we need to declare a climate emergency. I support carbon taxes to reduce our ecological footprint and to aid in the transition to an environomentally sustainable economy. We need to use natural and safe pesticides for agriculture, and enact responsible environmental regulation to protect the commons. And We urgently need to expand recycling. I support an universal basic income, a universal health care system, and especially a publicly funded quality education, including child care facilities, pre-k to 12, college, and homeschooling. I support preservation of the ecosystem with more urban parks, and more protected lands good for hunting, fishing and recreation. I support federal legalization of marijuana and psychoactive mushrooms. Prisoners incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses should be released. I support the right to a safe abortion if the choice is needed. I support antidiscrimination laws for gender diverse people. We must protect the elderly homeowner from inflated property taxes. I oppose foreign military aid and foreign military intervention. The legitimate purpose of the military is to defend US territory, not to project power overseas. Foreign military bases should be shut down. We must end the US government’s involvement in endless wars, and cut the destructive waste of the world’s largest military budget. Humanitarian foreign aid should be used to support environmentally sustainable and socially just economic development to reduce the need for economically motivated immigration. Access to mental health care is an essential part of a national health care system designed to promote the general welfare of ourselves and our future generations. A healthy and successful population is best measured by a happiness Index instead of an income index. Public support for the arts is essential for a healthy society. As Victor Pinchuk said, "Art, freedom, and creativity will change society faster than politics."	”
