Mendes was born in Eirunepé, Amazonas. He first served as governor from 1987 until 2 April 1990, when he resigned from office to run for the Federal Senate.[1] He was elected governor in 1995, serving from 1995 until 2003. In 2017, Mendes was elected Governor of Amazonas succeeding David Almeida, who assumed office as interim governor following the Superior Electoral Court impeachment of former Governor José Melo and former Vice Governor Henrique Oliveira. As a result, the president of the Legislative Assembly of Amazonas State assumed office until the elections were held on the 6 and 27 August.

Mendes died from pneumonia on 12 February 2023, at the age of 83.[2]
