• FTX letter — silence on personal crypto donations and SEC investigation interference 20 days silent
  Expected position: Soto would be expected to address his role as one of the 'Blockchain Eight' who signed a letter questioning the SEC's authority over crypto firms shortly after receiving FTX donations. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: After the FTX collapse in November 2022, reporting revealed Soto was among eight House members who signed a March 2022 letter questioning the SEC's investigative approach toward crypto firms — a letter signed while five of the eight, including Soto, had received FTX donations. Soto tweeted that the letter 'was squarely on the cryptocurrency industry' and noted his campaign reports showed no direct FTX official donations. He did not elaborate on the broader implications of the letter or his stance on crypto regulation relative to his donations.

• H.R. 7900 ↗ NAY 2025-09-30
  Continuing Resolution / Government Funding (September 2025) — GOP-led short-term funding measure to avert a federal shutdown
  why contradicted?

  [against_constituent] Soto voted against the GOP CR, which the NRCC called 'voting to shut down the government.' Democrats argued the measure failed to address broader needs including hurricane recovery — critical for Florida's 9th District which is prone to flooding and storms.
• H.R. 22 / SAVE Act (119th Congress) ↗ NAY 2025-04-10
  Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act — Requires documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections
  why contradicted?

  [against_constituent] Soto voted against the SAVE Act, aligning with Democratic leadership who characterized it as voter suppression. The NRCC used this vote against him, noting he later voted to prohibit non-citizen voting in DC — a contradiction they called a 'flip-flop.'

No documented broken promises on file.

• statement_vs_disclosure SCORE 60
  Soto's progressive environmental branding and 98% LCV score contrast with his top-donor relationship with AIPAC and his vote to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib — the only Palestinian-American member of Congress — a vote that drew organized protests at his district office.
• statement_vs_disclosure SCORE 60
  Soto voted against the final budget citing ICE funding concerns, then took credit for $13.4 million in community project funding that was in the same budget — a contradiction the NRCC has seized on in ads targeting his reelection.
• reversal SCORE 60
  Soto voted against the SAVE Act requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration in April 2025, then voted to prohibit non-citizen voting in Washington D.C. two months later. The NRCC characterized this as a 'flip-flop' under political pressure in his competitive district.
