Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Florida’s 27th district since 2021, recently took to social media to advocate for the Dignity Act and urge presidential action on immigration reform.
On July 16, 2025, Salazar announced her upcoming appearance on NewsNation with Laura Ingle, stating: “Getting ready to join NewsNation with @lauraingle to discuss a step forward on immigration. The Dignity Act offers a strong, commonsense approach and focused on putting American interests first. #DignityAct https://t.co/6HHAwNlc8f”
The following day, she directly addressed the President in two posts—one in English and one in Spanish—emphasizing his unique position to enact meaningful change. On July 17, she wrote: “Mr. President, only you have the skills and political courage to fix what others were too afraid to touch. The Dignity Act is your chance to make the best deal for our immigration system America has ever seen. This is your moment, and I believe you are the leader God has chosen https://t.co/BZELIeBFfn”
Shortly after, Salazar posted in Spanish: “Señor Presidente, solo usted tiene la habilidad y el coraje político para arreglar lo que otros ni se atrevieron a tocar. La Ley de Dignidad es su oportunidad de lograr el mejor acuerdo migratorio que Estados Unidos haya visto. Este es su momento, y creo que usted es el líder https://t.co/9lgIaSuLML” (July 17).
María Elvira Salazar succeeded Donna Shalala as representative of Florida’s 27th district in 2021 and previously served in the Florida House of Representatives. Born in Miami in 1961 and an alumna of the University of Miami (BA ’83), Salazar continues to reside in her hometown while advocating for legislative solutions such as the Dignity Act.
