Hi Friend. I'm Maria Elvira Salazar or MES for short, and I'm a Republican running for Congress in Florida.

I was born in Little Havana in Miami to parents who fled Cuba with just $5 in their pocket, a taste of freedom, and the hope of building their own American Dream.

Being raised in Miami and Puerto Rico, I grew up with the stories of the oppressive communist regime in Cuba, led by the cruel dictator Fidel Castro, from which my parents and many from our community escaped. This experience forged in me the importance of liberty and profound pride for the United States of America, but it also proved to me the fragility of freedom.

It's much like President Ronald Reagan once said,

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."

This passion for the pursuit of freedom helped me succeed in my studies as I graduated from the University of Miami and then put myself through Harvard University.

That same passion led me to a career in journalism where I interviewed a wide range of notable social and political leaders. I became the first Spanish-language reporter for an American news station.

My specialty was uncovering and exposing communist and socialist regimes in Latin America. I spent three years reporting from a Central American WARZONE in El Salvador!

I stood up to and challenged Fidel Castro in his first interview on American soil. That day I saw the face of evil. It was socialism!

I've never wanted to run for political office.

But I knew I had to act when I saw radicals like Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who wanted to bring the nightmare of socialism to our country!

I will bring a new voice to the Republican Party. Someone who has the fight in them and love for freedom. I'm MES. And I stood up to Castro. I'll have no problem standing up to Nancy Pelosi and AOC.

But I can't do it without your help.

My race is one of the top Congressional races in America. Republicans always held this seat until 2018, when Democrats flipped it blue. And now, a Democrat who served in the CLINTON Administration and is close with Hillary Clinton represents us. Her name is Donna Shalala, and she holds the Socialist values that'll destroy this country!

I'll be a champion for freedom and liberty. I've fought socialism before. I'll never let it come here. I will ensure our children and the next generation enjoy the same freedom my parents came seeking all those years ago!

Would you consider chipping in $25, $10, or even $5 to helping my cause: making sure socialism never comes to America!

Chip in $25

Chip in $15

Chip in $5

Your donations, your time, and your commitment to my success are CRUCIAL in this race and I hope you’ll join me in this fight.

En Libertad!

Thanks,

Federal election law requires political committees to use best efforts to report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 during an election cycle. An individual may not contribute more than a total of $2,800 (maximum for Primary Election) per election to the committee. Federal law prohibits contributions to the committee from the general treasury funds of a corporation, labor organizations or national banks (including corporate or other business entity credit cards), from any person contributing another’s funds, from a Federal government contractor, or from a foreign national who lacks permanent resident status.
