FL-27 Newsletter

Vol. 118, Issue #13

Dear Friends/Amigos,

Thank you for allowing me to bring you this brief weekly update.

District 27 secured major wins in Washington this week, both with the passage of my 'FORCE Act' in the House Foreign Affairs Committee and with the introduction of the 'Panama Canal Zone Veterans Act'. Serving those who've served in uniform, and residents of FL-27 district, is the honor of a lifetime!

As always, I invite you to connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, to get the latest from Washington and from across our district.

Sincerely/Atentamente,

Maria Elvira Salazar

U.S. Representative (FL-27)

THE 'FORCE ACT' PASSES THE

HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

On Tuesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee held a markup hearing to deliberate on my bill, the 'FORCE Act.' If enacted into law, the FORCE Act would prohibit any U.S. President and the Secretary of State from removing Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terror until the conditions outlined in the 'LIBERTAD Act' of 1996 are met.

These conditions would require the Cuban regime to:

Release all political prisoners and allow for investigations of Cuban prisons by appropriate international human rights organizations.
Transition away from the Castro regime to a system that guarantees the rights of the Cuban people to express themselves freely.
Commit to holding free and fair elections.

Make no mistake: The Cuban regime actively exports terror around the world and Latin America. Having a communist dictatorship just 90 miles away from our shores is a threat that must be addressed head on.

The bill passed the Committee with bipartisan support is now expected to be sent to the floor of the House of Representatives.
