Source-derived summary

Alan Rick Miranda (born 23 October 1976), more commonly known as Alan Rick, is a Brazilian politician as well as a journalist, and television personality. He has spent his political career representing Acre, who had served as a federal deputy representative from 2015 to 2023 and as a senator since 2023.

Personal life

Rick is the son of Antonio Milton Miranda and Maria Gorete Costa de Moraes da Silva. He holds a postgraduate in political journalism, and prior to becoming a politician he worked as a television presenter, business manager, and journalist. Rick is the pastor of the Forest Evangelical Baptist Church in Rio Branco. He is married to Michele Miranda, whom he wed in 2009.

Political career

In the 2014 Brazilian general election Rick was elected to the Federal Chamber of Deputies with 17,903 votes. He was elected under the banner of the Brazilian Republican Party, the first ever politician elected of that party from Acre, although he switched to the Democrats in 2017. He was reelected in the 2018 election 22,263 votes (or 5,24% of all the valid votes cast).

Rick voted in favor of the impeachment motion of then-president Dilma Rousseff.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Alan Rick” is brazilian politician. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Alan, Rick and Brazilian, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1976, 2015, 2023, 2009—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1976-10-23. For this dossier, Alan, Rick and Brazilian is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “brazilian politician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20045578. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1976, 2015, 2023 and 2009.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
