Political Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports lowering taxes and opposes local tax increases, advocating that taxpayers keep more of their earnings and warning against new sales or transportation taxes. His public materials emphasize tax cuts and pro-business fiscal positions.
Healthcare
Mike Beltran opposed the Florida "Live Healthy" legislative package and criticized subsidizing health care as unaffordable and not a core function of government. His vote record shows he cast the lone "no" vote in the House on the Live Healthy bills that directed increased state funding for Medicaid rate increases and other health workforce investments.

Immigration & Border
The candidate has shown mixed signals on immigration: at times he opposed Florida legislation that funded or expanded the state’s migrant relocation/flight program, voting with Democrats against the bill; other coverage indicates he supported some DeSantis-era immigration crackdowns. Public statements and votes thus show both opposition to state-funded migrant flights and support for tougher enforcement measures in different contexts.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports strict limits on abortion, has sponsored legislation to prohibit most abortions with only narrow medical-emergency exceptions, and voted in favor of Florida measures that ban abortion after six weeks and other restrictive policies. His legislative record shows active backing for near-total restrictions on abortion access.
Climate & Energy
Supported legislation (HB 1645) that removes most references to ‘climate change’ from Florida law, bans certain wind projects, and restructures state energy policy to prioritize fossil fuels and energy independence. Has a recorded yes vote on the bill while serving in the Florida Legislature. The bill also encourages natural gas and nuclear technologies over climate-focused renewable mandates.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports expanding gun-carry rights, including proposing open-carry measures and initiatives loosening concealed-carry requirements. He is described in local reporting as pro-gun rights and has sponsored legislation to allow more permissive public carrying of firearms.
