"We will not let the world forget the horror that occurred on February 24, 1996, nor will we remain silent while some individuals attempt to gloss over the true despotic nature of the Cuban dictatorship. The regime has shown repeatedly that it harbors no respect for human life, nor for basic human rights."

Today, Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar led a bipartisan initiative urging the United States Navy to consider preparing and sinking the USS Bonhomme Richard off the coast of Florida where, as an artificial reef, it could become an environmental and economic benefit to the local community and state.

Today, Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar introduced the bipartisan Fairness for Craft Beverage Producers Act.

“My community is home to thousands of men and women who fled tyranny and oppression. For over 30 years, I dedicated my career in journalism to covering the brutality, cruelty, and inhumanity of the socialist dictatorships that have destroyed so many nations throughout the world. As the daughter of exiles who fled the evil Castro regime, it is the honor of a lifetime to serve on these key Subcommittees and fight for our American values of freedom, democracy, and respect for Human Rights,” said Congresswoman Salazar.

"Our local artists play fundamental part across our community. In fact, there is no Miami without the arts" said Congresswoman Salazar. "During these unprecedented times, our artists have gone above and beyond with their infinite creativity. I am so proud that our community received more grant funding than any other Congressional district in the state of Florida!"

"For far too long, in general, our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere have been neglected compared to other regions of the world," the lawmakers stated in the the letter. "Sadly, your decision to reduce Member spots on the Subcommittee by almost half reflects this neglect and we strongly urge you to reconsider and return the ratio of the Subcommittee back to eight Democrat seats and six Republican seats as it was in the 116th Congress."

“From Calle Ocho to Flagler St., from Bird Road to Collins Avenue, and from Old Cutler Road to Miracle Mile, small businesses are the foundation of our community. During these difficult times, our local job creators have been absolutely devastated. I am committed to working in a bipartisan fashion to restore our economy and deliver much-needed COVID relief for our struggling South Florida small business owners,” said Congresswoman Salazar.
