Paulo Cesar Hartung Gomes is a Brazilian politician and was the Governor of the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo from 2003 until 2010. He is currently serving as Governor of Espírito Santo for a third, nonconsecutive term since January 1, 2015.
Paulo Hartung began his political career in the student movement, in a troubled period of Brazilian history, which were the last years of the military regime in 1964, which started with the deposition of João Goulart. When he was a student of UFES, Hartung was elected the first president of the DCE (the Students' Central Directory) of the University.
In 1979, he actively participated in the process that restructured the National Union of Students, having served as organizer of Espirito Santo bench and mobilizing delegates across the country to the entity's reconstruction congress representing all Brazilian students, held in Salvador, capital the state of Bahia.
Hartung joined the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party in 1982, and therefore initiated its political party trajectory. At 25-year-old, he was elected state representative to a four-year term (1983-1987), standing out as the youngest parliamentarian of the Legislative Assembly of the Espírito Santo.
On expiry of the mandate, he was re-elected in 1986 for a new four-year term (1987-1990) and participated in drafting the State Constitution. In his passage through the Assembly he was concerned with the defense of the civil service, and deal with fundamental issues for society, such as the environment, health, education, public transportation, among others.
In 1990, Hartung won the mandate of Congressman (1991-1995), with the highest vote in the City of Vitória, the state capital. His outstanding performance led to assume the post of deputy leader of the Party of Brazilian Social Democracy in the House, whose leadership was exercised by José Serra, then federal deputy for Sao Paulo, most important federal unit of the Brazilian Republic.
In 1992, municipal elections were held across the country and in them Paulo Hartung launched his candidacy and was elected Mayor of Vitória (1993-1997). In early 1997, he handed over his charge to his elected successor, Luiz Paulo Vellozo Lucas, also of the PSDB, and participated in the United States at the invitation of the Embassy of that country, the intensive program on Public Administration and Political System in the United States.
