Committee Assignments

Why this matters: committee seats are where legislative influence actually happens -- they are frequently the direct explanation for which industries and interest groups direct money toward a given member.

Timeline

Who This Is

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a Republican from Florida's 26th district, has served in the U.S. House since 2003. This page details his campaign finance profile, showing $731,746.86 in direct contributions and no independent expenditures, for a combined total of $731,746.86. It also outlines his leadership as Vice Chair of the House Committee on Appropriations. The information is drawn from official FEC and Congress.gov records.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributor is the Mario Diaz-Balart Victory Fund, which gave $6,341.63 to his campaign. Following that, Woolpert Inc. PAC contributed $5,000 and represents an engineering and design firm sector. The American Crystal Sugar Company PAC also gave $5,000, reflecting the sugar and agribusiness industry. The National Pork Producers Council Pork PAC contributed $5,000, indicating support from the pork production sector. UBS Americas Inc. PAC contributed $5,000, representing the banking and financial services industry. No super‑PACs or other independent expenditure groups reported spending for or against him in this cycle.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: As Vice Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Diaz-Balart helps shape federal spending decisions that can affect sectors represented by his top donors, such as agriculture and financial services. The presence of agricultural PACs (American Crystal Sugar and National Pork Producers) among the biggest contributors aligns with the Appropriations Committee's jurisdiction over farm program funding. The UBS PAC contribution reflects interest from the banking sector, which also benefits from appropriations decisions affecting financial regulation and infrastructure. Independent expenditure activity is zero, indicating no external super‑PAC spending supporting or opposing his race. No recorded votes are linked to tracked bills, so a direct comparison between his voting record and donor interests cannot be made at this time. Overall, his contribution mix shows typical support for a senior appropriations member from personal, industry, and financial sources.
