Gilbert John Mendonca was born in Bhayandar, a suburb of Maharashtra, India.[1] His family belongs to Christian Community and he had a business background.[1] He entered politics in 1978, winning the post of sarpanch of Mira-Bhayandar.[1] He went on to be elected president of Mira-Bhayandar in 1990[1] and was elected to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly (MLA) on a Nationalist Congress Party ticket in 2009, representing the Mira Bhayandar (Vidhan Sabha constituency). Mendonca ran in the election against Narendra Mehta of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Chandrakant Vaita of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena party. Of the 147,584 votes cast, Mendonca received 62,013, Mehta received 51,407, and Vaiti received 27,220 votes. Mendonca's margin of victory was 10,606 votes.[3][4] Mendonca's candidacy was aided by the residents of Uttan, who protested against the relocation of a dumping ground to their town by refusing to allow any candidate to campaign there except Mendonca, who considered Uttan his "stronghold".[3]

Mendonca was the first member of the MLA elected from Mira-Bhayandar.[1] In 2011 he was credited with starting a drive to start local trains from the Mira Road railway station.[5]

In the 2014 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election, he lost to Mehta by about 30,000 votes.[4][2]

Disgruntled with the Nationalist Congress Party, he joined the Shiv Sena and was the face of the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation elections in 2017.[8]
