Mario Díaz-Balart, U.S. Congressman representing Florida’s 26th District since 2003, highlighted recent legislative actions and recognized international human rights advocacy in a series of posts on September 3, 2025.
In one post, Díaz-Balart announced the enactment of new tax legislation aimed at supporting seniors in his district. He wrote on September 3, “The Working Families and Tax Cut – now law – delivers real relief to seniors in Florida’s 26th District, with a $6,000 bonus tax exemption for low- and middle-income seniors. It’s the largest tax break in history for America’s seniors, putting more money in their pockets.”
Later that day, Díaz-Balart commented on recent political investigations led by the House Oversight Committee. On September 3 he posted: “Chairman @RepJamesComer’s @GOPoversight Committee successfully exposed the politically motivated lawfare that drove the corrupt Biden Administration’s actions against President Trump. I have full faith that the same committee will pursue the Epstein-Maxwell case with the same”
Díaz-Balart also used his platform to acknowledge Berta Soler, leader of Cuba’s Damas de Blanco human rights group. In Spanish he stated on September 3: “No hay persona más merecedora del Premio Solidaridad Lech Wałęsa que Berta Soler, la icónica líder del reconocido grupo de derechos humanos @DamasdBlanco. Ella es una de las voces más valientes a favor de la democracia y la libertad que se enfrenta al régimen comunista” (There is no person more deserving of the Lech Wałęsa Solidarity Award than Berta Soler, the iconic leader of the renowned human rights group Damas de Blanco. She is one of the bravest voices for democracy and freedom who stands up to the communist regime.)
