Brian J. Mast

Overview

Brian Mast is a Republican Representative from Florida who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2017. As an Army veteran who lost both legs while serving in Afghanistan, he brings a unique perspective to his legislative work, particularly on defense and veterans' issues. His voting record shows strong consistency on defense matters, voting in favor of defense-related legislation 100% of the time in recorded votes. Healthcare has been his most active policy area, with 41 votes recorded and a relatively balanced 51% support rate, suggesting he evaluates healthcare legislation on a case-by-case basis rather than following a strictly partisan approach. On fiscal matters, his 44% support rate on budget-related votes indicates selective engagement with spending legislation. His perfect support rate on the single recorded social security vote and banking/finance vote suggests alignment with his party on these economic issues when they come to the floor.
