MIAMI (AP) - For more than two decades, the Diaz-Balart brothers have represented South Florida, first in the Legislature and then in Congress, fighting to maintain the nation's hard-line stance toward Cuba.
The two come from a prestigious Cuban family with four generations in public service. Their father once frequented the exclusive American Club in Havana with his friend, then brother-in-law and later enemy, Fidel Castro.
In many ways, they have symbolized the face of Florida's Cuban-American exile community — Republican and ferociously anti-Castro — and have gone virtually unchallenged. Until now.
