Mario Diaz-Balart

Overview

Mario Diaz-Balart is a long-serving Republican representing Florida in the U.S. House of Representatives with 680 recorded votes in the current dataset. His voting record reflects a moderate conservative approach, supporting his party on most fiscal, energy, and criminal justice matters while showing more independent tendencies in areas like healthcare and foreign policy. His strongest areas of agreement with legislation appear in criminal justice, technology, taxation, and environment and energy policy, where he voted in favor of bills at rates above 84%. In contrast, he was more selective on healthcare legislation, supporting roughly 54% of related bills — making it his most contested policy area by volume. On labor-related votes, he opposed the majority of measures, and on foreign policy, he voted against bills more often than in favor. Diaz-Balart's moderate positioning within the Republican Party is consistent across his record. Rather than reliably voting with the most conservative bloc, he appears to evaluate legislation across a range of issues, particularly on budget and spending matters where he supported about 76% of measures. His voting patterns suggest a legislator who generally aligns with Republican priorities but exercises independent judgment on select issues.
