In my state, Congressman Reverend Sargeant Isidorio (Avante) is also "ex-gay, ex-drug-addicted and ex-gangster" and he got 323k votes (most voted Congressman in state). And he's against Bolsonaro and guns...
Some of his videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF5Essd0SQY In 2006 campaign for Congress - when he failed to be elected - carrying a fake gas canister to protest against high-prices of cooking gas and saying that he's "crazy for Christ", while repeats his campaign number with police beret.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0ZGD9DYKXs In 2010 campaign for state legislature dancing with a open bible in one hand and with fake gas canister in other.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImHS0sx7uSY Thanking his mother for not being lesbian and smelling her pussy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP9_mnVRfv8 Attacking pro-gun executive order
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u34uEpjOLVA Simulating a shooting in congress to attack pro-gun executive order
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp6h9wQxvIQ&t=3s Attacking Bolsonaro government saying that Bolsonaro fails to talk with Congress and that he wants to talk him as only "a crazy can talk another crazy"... Look at reaction of other congressmen.
