Garcia was elected Vice Governor in 2018 and took office as the governor on 1 April 2022, with the resignation of the incumbent João Doria, due to his then candidacy for the Presidency of Republic, which he ended up withdrawing on 23 May 2022. Garcia was defeated on his reelection bid and Tarcísio de Freitas was elected as governor of São Paulo, ending the 28 year consecutive rule of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party on the state. For the election to the Federal Senate, the seat occupied by the incumbent senator José Serra (PSDB) since 2015, was at dispute, but he decided to run for a seat at the Chamber of Deputies. However, he wasn't elected. Marcos Pontes, a member of the Liberal Party, was elected to replace Serra on the Federal Senate.
The governor and vice governor elected in this election will serve a term that is a few days longer. This is due to Constitutional Amendment No. 111, which amended the Constitution of Brazil and stipulated that the mandate of elected governors will begin on 1 January 2023 and end on 6 January 2027.
