Source-derived summary

Pedro Henrique de Andrade Lima Carneiro Campos (born 28 October 1995) is a Brazilian civil engineer and politician, affiliated with the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB). He was elected as a federal deputy from the state of Pernambuco in 2022. He is the son of former government minister and governor of Pernambuco Eduardo Campos.

Biography

Pedro Henrique is the third child of Eduardo Campos and Renata de Andrade Lima, with Renata having established a career as an economist and state auditor. His older brother, João Henrique Campos, is the current mayor of Recife. He comes from a politically prominent family in Pernambuco, with his grandmother being former federal deputy and minister of the Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) Ana Arraes, and his great-grandfather being former governor of Pernambuco Miguel Arraes. Other relatives include his cousin, former federal deputy Marília Arraes, and his great-uncle, film director Guel Arraes. His father, while campaigning as a presidential candidate during the 2014 presidential election for the PSB, was killed when his plane crashed in poor weather in Santos, São Paulo.

Campos went to secondary school at Colégio Damas in Recife from 2010 to 2011, when he was approved to take university courses in civil engineering at just 16 years old. He was later approved for graduation at his second year in secondary school.

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—1995, 2022, 2014, 2010—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1995-10-28. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Pedro, Campos and Brazilian.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Pedro Campos” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Pedro, Campos and Brazilian provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115840901. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2022, 2014 and 2010.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
