Voter guide

The candidates, side by side

Goals come from each campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from government or official office records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so. Goals are summarized from each campaign's own platform page and stay attributed to the campaign. The record lines are official votes, sponsorships, and filings with the government source attached. Money is shown as filed, by the type the FEC records for the contributing committee, and is not evidence of why any position was taken. Money rows are itemized receipts from political committees; transfers from joint fundraising committees and the conduit entries for earmarked individual contributions sit on their own rows; other memo entries, reimbursements, and receipts from organizations that are not political committees are excluded; each candidate's note gives the filings it covers, and some notes also compare the rows with the campaign's own FEC summary.

  • An attorney with degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School, the Florida House records.
  • His campaign says he grew up in Brooklyn and lives in southeast Hillsborough with his wife and two sons.

  • Cast the only No vote as the House passed the Senate's health care access package, 117-1.
  • A surrendered-infants bill he co-introduced became law, chapter 2024-213.

Campaign money from other committees, by type

No table, because his filings through July 29, 2026 show no money from political committees. Lines 11B, 11C and 12 are all zero. Most of his money is a $2,014,000 loan from himself.

Issue comparison

What each campaign says

Each campaign's own positions, not promises The Stated Record has verified or endorsed.

Costs and taxes

Beltran's campaign would cut what he calls wasteful spending and points to Florida tax holidays. Castor's campaign says she will keep family costs in check; Lambert's backs a balanced budget, lower taxes and a simpler tax system. On the record, Beltran voted for Florida's 2022, 2023 and 2024 tax packages, which carried gas and sales tax holidays. They passed with no votes against, and he sponsored none of them.

What each campaign says

Mike Beltran

Would cut the wasteful spending he says drives prices up. He points to tax holidays on gas and everyday purchases, and what he calls the largest tax cut in Florida history.

Kathy Castor

Says she will keep costs for families in check and keep health care and energy affordable.

Brian Lambert

Wants a balanced budget, lower taxes, a simpler tax system and an end to what he calls reckless spending.

Health care

Beltran's campaign backs fewer barriers to new clinics and more telehealth. Castor's office says she helped draft the Affordable Care Act; Lambert's campaign backs competition and upfront prices. On the record, Beltran voted for 2019 laws ending state approval rules for hospitals and expanding telehealth, and cast the lone No on two 2024 health bills. Castor voted for the Affordable Care Act, which came from the Senate's bill; her amendment shaped the House bill.

What each campaign says

Mike Beltran

Would bring to Congress his state record on health care access: fewer barriers to new clinics and more telehealth.

Kathy Castor

Says she helped draft the Affordable Care Act and defends its protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Says she led bipartisan bills on treatments for children with cancer and rare diseases.

Brian Lambert

Wants more patient choice through competition, upfront prices and fewer federal mandates.

Veterans and the military

Beltran's campaign backs veterans' care and benefits. Castor's campaign points to VA hospital funding and a military pay raise she voted for; Lambert's backs less VA paperwork and urgent help on veteran suicide. On the record, Castor voted for the final 2024 and 2025 defense bills that carried raises, after voting against the House's first versions. Her site does not say which raise it means.

What each campaign says

Mike Beltran

Will fight for veterans' care and benefits, and wants a strong military focused on defending the country.

Kathy Castor

Calls herself a champion for veterans. Points to Haley VA hospital funding, MacDill Air Force Base and a military pay raise she voted for.

Brian Lambert

Wants less VA paperwork, more care in the community and urgent help on veteran suicide. He is a Navy veteran.

Energy bills and data centers

Beltran's campaign wants local approval for data centers and a guarantee they won't raise power bills. Castor's office opposes data center development in Hillsborough County; Lambert's campaign backs market-driven energy. On the record, Castor cosponsored a bill making large data centers pay for grid upgrades; it passed the House 417-3 and is not law. She voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, which funds home efficiency rebates; this site did not measure its effect on bills.

What each campaign says

Mike Beltran

No data center in the community without local approval and a guarantee it won't raise energy bills or harm the environment.

Kathy Castor

Opposes data center development in Hillsborough County. Wants data centers to pay the full cost of their power and grid upgrades.

Brian Lambert

Backs an all-of-the-above energy policy driven by markets, not mandates. His site says nothing about data centers.

Guns

Beltran's campaign says his pro-gun record is perfect. Castor's 2019-2020 House office page backs background checks on all gun sales; Lambert's campaign opposes gun bans and backs permitless carry. On the record, Beltran voted for Florida's 2023 permitless carry law. None of the 2024 bills he backed to lower the gun-buying age or end emergency red flag orders became law, and this site did not check every gun vote.

What each campaign says

Mike Beltran

Says he has a perfect pro-gun record: no red flag laws, no magazine bans.

Kathy Castor

Backs background checks on all gun sales and federal research on gun violence. Her office's page on this dates from 2019-2020.

Brian Lambert

Backs carrying without a permit nationwide and opposes gun and magazine bans.

Abortion

Beltran's campaign would leave abortion to states, with rape, incest and life-of-the-mother exceptions. Castor called Florida's six-week ban cruel in 2024; Lambert's campaign lists no position on the pages checked. On the record, Beltran co-introduced and voted for 15-week and six-week limits. On rape and incest exceptions, the record does not settle this: he voted against adding them in 2022, for the 2023 law with them, and backed a 2024 bill without them that died.

What each campaign says

Mike Beltran

Says Dobbs was right and states should set abortion policy, with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother.

Kathy Castor

In 2024 she called Florida's six-week ban cruel and said she would keep working so women can make their own decisions.

Brian Lambert

No position found. His twelve issue pages, biography and why-Libertarian page do not mention abortion.

Immigration and the border

Beltran's campaign would finish the wall and deport criminals. Castor's House office backs a fair path to citizenship; Lambert's campaign would secure every border and port of entry and keep legal immigration. On the record, Beltran voted for three Florida immigration laws, including a 2019 sanctuary policy ban; a state lawmaker has no vote on the wall. Castor cosponsored and twice voted for the American Dream and Promise Act, which did not become law.

What each campaign says

Mike Beltran

Stands with President Trump: finish the wall, deport criminals, and pass the SAVE America Act so only citizens vote.

Kathy Castor

Backs immigration reform with a fair pathway to citizenship.

Brian Lambert

Secure every border and port of entry, and keep legal immigration.

Words and record

Where statements meet official action

Each card sets one thing a candidate says beside their own official record, with one label from a fixed list and its limit. No card says why someone did something.

How the cards work

The number of cards varies with what each candidate's official record supports, and every card carries the same required parts: what they say, what the official record shows, one label from the fixed list, and its limit. Each card is labeled narrowly, by rule. A single vote, sponsorship, or filing can match one claim without proving a candidate's whole record.

He also filed his own bill to allow open carry and delete Florida's emergency red flag orders; it died in subcommittee.

In 2022 he co-introduced the 15-week law, which has no rape or incest exception, and voted No on two failed amendments to add one, 38-74 and 37-74. In 2023 he co-introduced the House's six-week bill, which allows abortion for rape or incest up to 15 weeks, voted for the Senate version that became law, and was the only Republican to vote for an amendment letting a woman's sworn statement prove rape or incest. In 2024 he was second sponsor of HB 1519, which allows abortion only to save the woman's life.

Why there is no assessment here

The record points both ways. His 2022 votes and his 2024 bill went against rape and incest exceptions; his 2023 bill and votes went for them.

Limit: His campaign does not say when he came to this view. HB 1519 never got a vote.

By the Defense Department's yearly table, the January 2024 raise of 5.2% was the largest since 6.9% in 2002. The Defense Department's pay site lists the raise as 5.2% on January 1, 2024 and 4.5% on January 1, 2025. The 2025 law rewrote the basic pay tables from April 1, 2025; the Navy's April 2025 table says it reflects a full 14.5% raise for E-1 to E-4. She voted against the House's first versions of both bills, 219-210 in July 2023 and 217-199 in June 2024.
