FL-27 Newsletter
Vol. 118, Issue #26
Dear Friends/Amigos,

This week I was back in Washington, D.C. advancing District 27's interests in the halls of Congress!

As we head into a district work period for the month of August, I wanted to remind all of my constituents that if you're looking to book a tour of the Capitol, renew your passport, or share your opinion with me, my staff and I are always here to serve!

It is an honor to serve you in Congress, and please continue to call my office or visit my website to share your thoughts with me.

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, 

María Elvira Salazar
U.S. Representative (FL-27)
WELCOMING LEO MESSI TO MIAMI!
This week, I took to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to welcome one of the greatest fútbol players of all time, Lionel Messi!

Inter Miami FC is lucky to have such an amazing player on their team, and not just because of his stellar record. Messi proves to us through his actions and his determination that reaching your dreams REQUIRES hard work and patience.

No one understands this better than the residents of my District, who come from all over the world in search of the American Dream.

Welcome, Leo, to the greatest city in America!

DEFENDING COLOMBIA FROM GUSTAVO
PETRO'S SOCIALIST TYRANNY
As Chairwoman of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, I am in a unique place on the House Foreign Affairs Committee to defend American interests abroad, particularly in Latin America.

Ever since his election, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia has threatened to turn his country into another Venezuela.

I was pleased to hear that officials in the Biden Administration share my concerns about President Petro's menacing policy goals, and that the United States will continue to defend our allies from the tyranny of socialism!
