Mario Diaz-Balart is a powerful leader on the House Appropriations Committee, where he personally controls the billions of dollars that fund U.S. foreign policy and defense. In return, the foreign policy industry and giant weapons makers are lining his campaign pockets: over a million dollars from pro-Israel PACs, and hundreds of thousands more from defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman. 99% of his funding comes from big PACs and wealthy donors, with less than 1% from regular people like us. We deserve leaders who fight for us instead of the billionaire defense lobby.
