In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“President Trump has delivered a historic first year in office –– keeping his promises and restoring strong American leadership. At the heart of his agenda is the well-being of the American people. From ending woke radical policies, unleashing American energy, securing the border, reducing crime, rebuilding our military, ending eight wars, and eliminating wasteful spending to reviving the U.S. economy, President Trump has focused on putting more money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans. I am proud to have worked alongside President Trump to pass the America First 'Working Families Tax Cuts' bill to his desk for signature. As families in Florida's 26th Congressional District file their taxes, they will see the results: lower taxes, stronger small businesses, enhanced national security, and a Florida that remains strong and prosperous.”
Díaz-Balart Commends President Trump's Leadership Following the 2026 State of the Union AddressFeb 24, 2026 · Official · mariodiazbalart.house.gov [Official] · source
“I commend Chairman Tom Cole's leadership in restoring regular order to the appropriations process and protecting hard-earned U.S. taxpayer dollars and thank my colleagues for advancing this third tranche of full-year appropriations bills that deliver real solutions for the American people. These bills cut waste, fraud, and abuse, ensure accountability and efficiency, combat drug trafficking, and strengthen U.S. national security, all while advancing President Trump's America First agenda. As chairman of the subcommittee responsible for funding America's foreign policy and national security priorities, I am proud that my NSRP Fiscal Year 2026 bill delivers the largest spending reduction of any appropriations bill this year, reducing spending by 16%, while strengthening U.S. national security and prioritizing American interests. Under President Trump's leadership, American strength and credibility on the world stage are back. This legislation advances the President's Peace Through Strength vision by strengthening mutually beneficial partnerships that lead to economic prosperity for the United States and our hemisphere, standing firmly with our allies, confronting malign actors that threaten our security, combating drug trafficking, and controlling irresponsible and dangerous migration.”
