Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congress member representing Florida's 27th district, has expressed her views on Venezuelan democracy and American foreign policy through a series of tweets. Salazar, who replaced Donna Shalala in 2021, has been vocal about international issues affecting the United States.
On January 31, 2025, Rep. Salazar tweeted about the situation in Venezuela: "Venezuelan democracy is not worth selling for the price of oil! If we don’t push for Maduro and Diosdado to leave power, it will come back to haunt us." She emphasized the importance of advocating for political change in Venezuela.
Later that day, she reiterated her stance in Spanish: "La democracia venezolana no se vende por el petróleo! Si no presionamos para que se vayan Maduro y Diosdado lo pagaremos muy caro después." This statement underscores her commitment to addressing Venezuelan political issues both domestically and internationally.
On February 1, 2025, Salazar commented on American foreign policy with enthusiasm: "America is BACK with @SecRubio at the @StateDept! " Her tweet indicates support for Secretary Rubio's role at the State Department and suggests a renewed focus on America's global presence.
