Rep. María Elvira Salazar, who represents Florida's 27th district in the U.S. Congress, recently shared her thoughts on social media about a meeting with local firefighters and current political issues. Salazar has been serving in Congress since 2021, succeeding Donna Shalala, and is known for her active engagement with both local and national matters.
On March 4, 2025, Rep. Salazar expressed her admiration for the courage of Miami's firefighters after meeting with them. She stated: "It was an honor meeting with the @CityofMiamiFire and @Local1403 today! Their courage truly *ignited* my admiration. Thank you for protecting our community and putting your lives on the line every day to keep us safe!"
The following day, March 5, 2025, she commented on recent economic and international challenges faced by the United States over the past four years. She credited former President Trump for addressing these issues swiftly: "The last four years, we had sky high inflation, a border disaster, and wars around the world. President Trump tackled these things head on in just a few weeks. I’m looking forward to hearing his address before a Joint Session of Congress! "
In another tweet posted shortly thereafter in Spanish on March 5, 2025, she reiterated her views on President Trump's actions regarding inflation and border issues: "En los últimos cuatro años, hemos tenido una inflación altísima, un desastre fronterizo y guerras en todo el mundo. El presidente Trump abordó estos temas de frente en apenas unas semanas. ¡Estoy deseando escuchar su discurso ante esta Sesión Conjunta del Congreso! "
