José Paulo Bisol (born October 22, 1928 in Porto Alegre) is a retired judge and Brazilian politician. Bisol most notably served as the vice presidential running mate of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, in the 1989 presidential election.[1] Bisol was originally set to serve as Lula's running mate in the 1994 presidential election, but was replaced by Aloízio Mercadante.[2][3] Bisol was famous for being an opponent of corruption, and was said to have had a "Mr. Clean" image that was damaged by accusations surrounding his career as a judge during the 1994 campaign.[4]
