Manato voted in favor of the
impeachment motion of then-president
Dilma Rousseff. Manato voted in favor of tax reforms but against the
2017 Brazilian labor reform, and would vote in favor of opening a corruption investigation into Rousseff's successor
Michel Temer. There was some controversy over the funding Manato and several other elected deputies had received from the Maranata church, in exchange with the government not investigating the church's financial activities. The same year Manato contested the
Espírito Santo gubernatorial election, where he came in third with 525,973 votes or 27.26% of the valid ballots. ==References==
