In January 2024, he returned to the Chamber of Deputies, after having been Fausto Junior's [pt] deputy, who gave up his seat to take on the Manaus State Secretariat for Sanitation, Housing and Urban Development (Sedurb). He remained a deputy until November 2024, when Júnior returned to his post in Brasília. He was also Manaus' municipal secretary of education.

Biography

Early years and education

Born in Eirunepé, a town in the southwest of Amazonas [pt], Pauderney moved to Manaus, the state capital, when he was still young. He graduated in civil engineering in 1979 and even started law school, but didn't finish, both at the former University of Amazonas, now the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM).

Career

He taught at the former Federal Technical School of Amazonas, now the Federal Institute of Amazonas [pt] (IFAM), from 1974 to 1978. He was also one of the founding partners of Construtora Capital, a company he still runs today.

Political

Affiliated to the Christian Democratic Party [pt] (PDC), he was elected federal deputy for Amazonas in 1990, after receiving 15 659 votes.

In 1993, the PDC merged with the Social Democratic Party (PDS) to form the Progressive Renewal Party (PPR), which Pauderney joined. With the new party, he was re-elected to the federal parliament after receiving 35 013 votes.

In 1997 he was decorated by the Italian government with the Cavalieri di Gran Croce commendation. That same year, he joined his third party, this time the Liberal Front Party (PFL), with a view to running for state senator, after Governor Amazonino Mendes joined the party. Despite his efforts to run for the Senate, he ran for federal deputy for the party for the third time. In 1998, he was once again successful and was elected after receiving 59 027 votes. In 2002, he was one of the main organisers of José Serra's campaign for president in the 2002 election, in which Serra was defeated by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Despite his defeat at national level, Pauderney was re-elected as a federal deputy with 75 029 votes.

After four terms as a federal deputy, in 2006 he announced his candidacy for the Senate. He received 289 234 votes and came second in the election, beaten by Alfredo Nascimento. In 2007, the Liberal Front Party changed its name to Democrats (DEM) and Pauderney remained in the party. He ran his fifth campaign for federal deputy for Amazonas, this time for the DEM, and was elected after receiving 100 199 votes.

In 2012, he ran for executive office for the first time, as the DEM candidate for mayor of Manaus. After receiving 26,371 votes, Pauderney finished in sixth place and did not advance to the second round, which was contested between communist Vanessa Grazziotin and the candidate of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party, Arthur Neto.

In 2014, he ran for the federal deputy of Amazonas for the sixth time and was elected after receiving 102 488 votes. In 2016, he voted in favor of Dilma Rouseff's impeachment. In Michel Temer's government, he was DEM leader. He was in favor of the labor reform and voted to dismiss the complaint against Michel Temer filed by the Public Prosecutor's Office.

In the following election, in 2018, he remained as an alternate, unable to emerge directly after the votes. In the same year, he signaled his support for far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro in the 2018 presidential election. He took part in Bolsonaro's transition government and was chosen to organize measures for a pension reform.

After the merger of the DEM with the Social Liberal Party (PSL), which gave rise to Brazil Union (UNIÃO), Pauderney joined the newly formed party. In the 2022 election, he ran again for federal deputy. He became a substitute after receiving 52,014 votes. In January 2024, he returned to the Chamber of Deputies, after having been Fausto Junior's [pt] deputy, who gave up his seat to take on the Manaus State Secretariat for Sanitation, Housing and Urban Development (Sedurb). He remained a deputy until November 2024, when Júnior returned to his post in Brasília.

Electoral performance

Controversies

Overbilling

On August 16, 2013, the Deputy Secretary of Education of Manaus, Deuzamir Pereira, stated in an interview with the newspaper A Crítica [pt] that there was a group "embezzling public funds" through the rental of buildings used as schools in the municipality. According to the deputy secretary, the city spent 29 million reais on property rentals for school operations. He stated: "This (rental) is a dirty business (...). It contaminates part of the fabric. We need to remove this cancer." He also mentioned that some of the rented properties were in deplorable conditions. A few days later, he was summoned to the Manaus City Council [pt] to explain his statements and denied having made the allegations reported by the newspaper. Deuzamir claimed he had only referred to the rentals as a "cancer" not suggesting there was a criminal group involved. The deputy secretary apologized to the councilors and expressed public regret for his comments. Weeks later, he was dismissed by order of the then Secretary of Education, Pauderney Avelino.

The issue resurfaced on March 16, 2016, when the Amazonas State Court of Auditors [pt] (TCE-AM) ordered Pauderney Avelino to return 4.6 million reais. He was also fined 23 thousand reais. According to an audit conducted by the Court, Avelino inflated rental contracts for 47 properties during his tenure as Secretary of Education of Manaus. The largest contract, worth 1.4 million, reais was awarded to the company Millennium Locadora Ltda, for a building housing the Sub-Secretary of Infrastructure and Logistics' storage facility. TCE-AM counselor Yara Lins identified six irregularities committed by Avelino, including the absence of property registration with the city hall and the fire department, lack of tax clearance certificates, and missing property tax (IPTU) documentation.

However, on March 30, the TCE-AM overturned the conviction. The defense argued that contradictions in the technical assessments invalidated the process. Counselor Yara Lins accepted the request, citing issues related to the land ownership of properties in the city, especially in areas subject to invasions or occupations.
