This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons.

If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Conflict of interest?

Could someone clarify what "close connection" means here, and how it was decided that one exists? I attempted to include only information that was verifiable by third party media, and I have no connection to the subject other than an interest in his background in the context of the Congressional race in FL.

The COI tag requires that the editor who places the tag start a discussion. Since (1) they did not start the discussion and (2) you have denied COI, I will remove the tag. – Lionel^(talk) 03:37, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Michael Waltz

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Michael Waltz's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Primary Election":

From Jahana Hayes: "2018 Connecticut primary election results". Retrieved June 22, 2019.
From 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida: "2018 Florida primary election results". Retrieved June 30, 2019.
From Josh Harder: "2018 California primary election results" (PDF). Retrieved 10 June 2019.

Reference named "General Election":

From 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida: "2018 Florida general election results". Retrieved June 30, 2019.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:04, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure this aligns with the neutral point of view policy. There are several sections that come off more like a promotional piece.

Michael Waltz wiki page says he's governor of Florida. He's U.S. representative for Florida's 6th congressional district. Tried to change but can't.

It states that his predecessor became governor. Curbon7 (talk) 19:26, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Personal information

It does not appear that his personal information is accurate. The article does not mention his first wife. Steve (talk) 01:30, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source for Waltz Acting as National Security Advisor

I know this is pedantic, but is there actually any official source for Waltz currently being the National Security Advisor? The current source links to the whitehouse.gov/nsc site, but that site is down and as far as I know has never shown Waltz as the NSA. 205.178.122.185 (talk) 22:37, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How does he have a teenage daughter if he just married his wife? And this page says ‘3’ children. Who is the third. Did a Republican change these things? 2605:59C8:3083:2410:51A4:931E:8075:B4CC (talk) 02:25, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
