VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: reversal
Mast voted yes on the Respect for Marriage Act in July 2022 then flipped to no on final passage in December 2022. The reversal aligned with pressure from social conservative groups after the initial vote drew criticism from the right. No public explanation was provided for the reversal.

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Mast voted against the infrastructure bill as a 'socialist wishlist' but then publicly demanded that the Biden administration allocate Everglades restoration funding from the very same bill — a project he previously said needed $725 million in federal infrastructure investment. He took credit for pushing the Army Corps to fund the project after voting against the funding mechanism.

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Mast, who sits on the Aviation Subcommittee that oversees commercial spaceflight, failed to timely disclose a stock purchase in Virgin Galactic — a company directly within his oversight purview — weeks after its president testified before his subcommittee.

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Mast publicly claimed to protect people with pre-existing conditions while voting for the AHCA, which the CBO projected would cause 23 million to lose coverage and which permitted states to waive essential health benefits including pre-existing condition protections. He receives his own healthcare through the VA, insulating him from the law's effects.
What this view assembles
- Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
- Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
- Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
- Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).
This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
