Jair Bolsonaro is the father of five sons. Flávio, Carlos and Eduardo, who were, respectively, elected as senator for the state of Rio de Janeiro, city councilman in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and federal deputy for the state of São Paulo, the latter winning his second mandate with the largest vote in the country - 1.8 million votes, a record for a dispute for the Federal Chamber. He is also the father of Renan and Laura.
Bolsonaro has changed parties several times in his career, something not unusual considering the large number of parties in Brazil, along with the fact that conservative parties in the country tend to be weak. He was a member of the [[Progressive Party (Brazil)|Progressive Party]]. The most leftist members of that party usually classify it as a ''PSNN'' (''Progressista Só No Nome'' - ''[[Progressive]] In Name Only'', ''PLINO''). In March 2016, he left PP to join [[Social Christian Party]], and he later joined the [[Social Liberal Party]]. All of these parties are conservative or conservative-leaning despite their names.
