MEET MARIO
The Voice of Experience at the Table.
Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart is currently in his eleventh term in the U.S. House of Representatives, proudly representing Florida's 26th Congressional District.
As the Dean of the Florida Congressional Delegation, Mario brings unparalleled seniority, fiscal discipline, and decisive influence to Washington. He serves as Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (SFOPS) and as Vice Chairman of the crucial Defense Subcommittee.
Throughout his tenure, Mario has been a relentless champion for South Florida's working families, veterans, and small businesses. He has delivered hundreds of millions of dollars directly back to our community—protecting the Everglades, modernizing critical transportation arteries, upgrading ports, and equipping law enforcement.
Mario has never wavered in defending the bedrock values of our community: constitutional liberty, secure borders, economic opportunity, and an unyielding commitment to freedom fighters standing up to authoritarian regimes across the Western Hemisphere and around the globe.

Fighting for Florida.

Crush Inflation & Lower Everyday Costs
Reining in Washington's reckless multi-trillion dollar spending binges that devalue paychecks, raise supermarket prices, and squeeze seniors on fixed incomes.
Restore Border Security & Enforce Law
Securing operational control of America's borders, completing strategic physical barriers, and providing full resources to border patrol agents.
Protect Water Quality & The Everglades
Guaranteed annual federal appropriations to maintain full momentum for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan and protect our aquifer.
Peace Through Strength & Strong Defense
Equipping our armed forces with cutting-edge capabilities to deter global adversaries, while expanding military compensation and housing support.
Uncompromising Defense of Freedom
Zero concessions to repressive regimes in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. Direct support for dissidents, political prisoners, and satellite internet access.
Honor Veterans & Protect Law Enforcement
Expanding prompt access to specialized VA healthcare, protecting earned benefits, and providing local police departments with critical tactical resources.
