I mean you could put it here but I don't believe this thread is for wikiboxes. I'm sure you could just type a specific format for your politician to add it here but it's up to the OP, @LAHistorian15.
On the Matter of Wikiboxes
I mostly made this thread for people that are interested in wikiboxes but don’t have the skills to make one themselves but everyone is welcome. However, there is already a thread for wikiboxes and I’ve found that wikibox on that thread and I admit, it’s good stuff, but if this thread has been established to have a certain format that isn’t wikiboxes but there is a thread for wikiboxes then I expect to see them posted there. Since this is a first time instance I will allow it to stay, but I would appreciate that future posts be made in a format established by this thread.

Would've taken office in the Senate in 2001, not 2000. Also why didn't JFK Jr. run for re-election in 2012? Or did he somehow lose to a Republican in essentially a Democratic safe state?THE KENNEDY DYNASTY PT.2Name: John F. Kennedy Jr.

If the majority of their political carrier is either before or after 1900 then they should go there.

Miguel Arraes
Personal Info
Full name: Miguel Arraes de Alencar
Born: December 15, 1916
Died: August 15, 2005 (aged 88)
Political Party: Social Democratic (1950 - 1959), Social Labour (1959 - 2005)
Offices Held
State assemblyman of Pernambuco (1951 - 1959)
Mayor of Recife (January 1, 1960 - January 1, 1963)
Governor of Pernambuco (January 1, 1963 - March 31, 1965*)
President of Brazil (January 31, 1966 - January 31, 1971)
Senator of Pernambuco (February 1, 1979 - February 1, 2003)
*Resigned to run for the presidency.
Summary: Stretching from the 1950s until his retirement in 2003, Miguel Arraes' lengthy career covered one of the most tumultuous periods in the history of the Brazilian republic. An intransigent defender of the poor, rural and urban alike, he regularly ran afoul of Pernambuco's powerful landowners during his term as governor of that state, his initiatives in support of land reform and extending labour rights to the peasantry decried as belonging to a wider, communist conspiracy. His finest hour came in April 1964, when he played a critical role in defeating the second attempted coup against president João Goulart (1). Full name: Miguel Arraes de Alencar
Born: December 15, 1916
Died: August 15, 2005 (aged 88)
Political Party: Social Democratic (1950 - 1959), Social Labour (1959 - 2005)
Offices Held
State assemblyman of Pernambuco (1951 - 1959)
Mayor of Recife (January 1, 1960 - January 1, 1963)
Governor of Pernambuco (January 1, 1963 - March 31, 1965*)
President of Brazil (January 31, 1966 - January 31, 1971)
Senator of Pernambuco (February 1, 1979 - February 1, 2003)
*Resigned to run for the presidency.
His performance in that event, combined with former president Juscelino Kubitschek's unexpected decision not to run for his old post, opened the way for Arraes' victorious campaign for the presidency in 1965. The dominant feature of his five-year term was the consolidation of the Reformas de Base (Basic Reforms), especially regarding land reform, with many large estates broken up and redistributed to landless peasants during his administration. After eight years out of office, Arraes returned to active politics by being elected to a seat in the Senate in 1978, serving three terms (24 years in total) before retiring from politics two years before his death.
(1) IOTL that coup was victorious, and twenty-one years of military dictatorship ensued. Arraes, who was until then seen as a potential (if unlikely) successor to Goulart, never recovered his former national stature after returning from exile, though he continued to be a giant of Pernambuco politics until his death.
