José Sarto Nogueira Moreira (born 13 February 1959) is a physician and a Brazilian politician affiliated to the Democratic Labour Party (PDT).

He studied and graduated in medicine at the Federal University of Ceará, and worked as an intern in the areas of gynecology and obstetrics at Jackson Memorial Hospital, in Miami, Florida.

The same situation happened in the 2002 Ceará state elections; Sarto only obtained 24,766 votes and became an alternate on his party.

Élcio Batista, a member of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) and the former chief of staff of the former governor Camilo Santana (PT), was chosen as his running mate in the ticket.

[16] About two years before the 2024 elections, Sarto stated that he could run for re-election as long as it was a Democratic Labour Party's decision.

[citation needed] Sarto was married for fourteen years to nurse Natália Herculano, divorcing her in 2021.
