María Elvira Salazar U.S. House of Representatives from Florida's 27th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Rep. María Elvira Salazar, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 27th district, has recently expressed her views on law enforcement and international diplomacy through a series of tweets. Salazar, who succeeded Donna Shalala in 2021, has a background in both national and state-level politics.
On March 24, 2025, Rep. Salazar acknowledged former President Trump's actions regarding gang-related crimes. She stated: "Thank you, President Trump, for taking action and locking these MONSTERS up. Gangs and thugs like them have no place in our communities and must be dealt with swiftly. Law and order must be upheld!"
In a subsequent tweet posted shortly after, she reiterated her gratitude to Trump in Spanish: "Gracias, presidente Trump, por tomar acción y encarcelar a estos MONSTRUOS. Pandilleros y delincuentes como ellos no tienen lugar en nuestras comunidades y deben ser enfrentados con rapidez. ¡La ley y el orden deben prevalecer!"
Later that day, Salazar shared her approval of the current president's stance against authoritarian regimes: "GREAT NEWS! It’s refreshing to finally have a president willing to stare down these murderous and repressive dictators. Mess with the United States and there is a price to pay! "
