The roundtable was hosted by Rabbi Benjamin Korf and chaired by President Trump’s recent appointment to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, Barbara Feingold. “It was a pleasure to spend time and meet with Congressman Donalds, who lives out our values well. We can see why President Trump has endorsed him, and we look forward to working with him in the future,” said Rabbi Benjamin Korf. Congressman Donalds, Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz, representatives from leading orthodox day schools, and rabbis from congregations in the South Florida area discussed a wide range of issues of concern to the South Florida Jewish community, focusing on education and security. During the visit, Congressman Donalds emphasized that the safety and security of all Floridians is non-negotiable. He also made clear his commitment to holding similarly constructive roundtables across the state to hear directly from individuals and key community leaders about how he can best serve them as Florida’s next governor.","source_url":"https://byrondonalds.com/florida-gubernatorial-candidate-byron-donalds-holds-roundtable-with-south-florida-jewish-leaders-at-lubavitch-educational-center-in-miami/","source_date":null}],"committees":[{"committee_name":"House Oversight and Accountability","role":"Member","chamber":"house"},{"committee_name":"House Financial Services","role":"Member","chamber":"house"},{"committee_name":"House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee","role":"Member","chamber":"house"}],"finance":[{"id":1735,"official_id":13403,"fec_candidate_id":"H2FL14186","cycle":2026,"office_sought":"H","total_raised":738092,"total_spent":2143626.16,"cash_on_hand":334476.3,"total_debt":0,"individual_contributions":533501.8,"pac_contributions":56800,"party_contributions":0,"self_funding":0,"last_filing_date":"2026-03-31T00:00:00","source_url":"https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/H2FL14186/?cycle=2026","updated_at":"2026-09-16 07:01:33"}],"vote_count":943,"vote_summary":[{"vote":"Aye","count":534},{"vote":"Yea","count":249},{"vote":"Nay","count":98},{"vote":"Not Voting","count":43},{"vote":"No","count":14},{"vote":"Jordan","count":2},{"vote":"Johnson (LA)","count":2},{"vote":"Present","count":1}],"vote_topics":[{"topic":"Economy","count":66},{"topic":"National Security","count":52},{"topic":"Procedural","count":51},{"topic":"Healthcare","count":37},{"topic":"Climate","count":34},{"topic":"Education","count":31},{"topic":"Criminal Justice","count":31},{"topic":"Energy & Minerals","count":28},{"topic":"Foreign Policy","count":25},{"topic":"Immigration","count":23}],"recent_votes":[{"bill_id":"hr5334-119","bill_title":"An Act to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow early childhood educators to take the educator expense deduction, and for other purposes","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":"Taxes","source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll308.xml"},{"bill_id":"hr9576-119","bill_title":"National Fraud Enforcement Division Act","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll309.xml"},{"bill_id":"hr10326-119","bill_title":"PROOF Act","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll310.xml"},{"bill_id":"hjres213-119","bill_title":"Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to the “California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Commercial Harbor Craft Regulations; Notice of Decision”","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":"Climate","source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll311.xml"},{"bill_id":"hr9340-119","bill_title":"Ratepayer Protection Act","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":"Climate","source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll312.xml"},{"bill_id":"hr9497-119","bill_title":"Water Resources Development Act","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll313.xml"},{"bill_id":"s2403-119","bill_title":"Retire through Ownership Act","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll314.xml"},{"bill_id":"hres1486-119","bill_title":"Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors","vote":"Not Voting","vote_date":"2026-09-15","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll298.xml"},{"bill_id":"hres1530-119","bill_title":"Providing for consideration of the bills H.R. 9576 and H.R. 10326, providing for consideration of the joint resolutions H.J.
