The father of Mario Diaz-Balart used to be first, an attorney for United Fruits in Cuba, which is now called Chiquita, then he became the Speaker of the House in Havana, then Batista placed him in his cabinet.
In Miami, the sons Lincoln Diaz-Balart, and Mario Diaz-Balart both became Congressmen.
Their father's sister, as already mentioned by another poster, was Mirta Francisca de la Caridad Díaz-Balart y Gutiérrez.

Many, many others were either members of the government, moved to Florida, or were members of the families of people in the government, as was Cuban-American singer, Gloria Estefan's father a bodyguard for Fulgencio Batista, and some of the Cuban "exiles" who became terrorists against Cubans living in Cuba were either in the military or the police, etc.
Jeb Bush appointed the grandson, Raoul Cantero, who was born in Spain after Batista fled to Spain when Cubans threw him out, to the Florida Supreme Court.
It goes on and on and on, seemingly forever.
