Scalise Endorses Maria Elvira Salazar for Congress

In the upcoming 2020 election, Maria Elvira Salazar (R) is looking to make Florida Rep. Donna Shalala (D) a one-term congresswoman, and now more than ever she’s receiving Republican support as she looks to take on Shalala a second time after losing in the 2018 midterm election.

Taking to twitter to highlight the incoming support, she shared a tweet detailing her endorsement from Rep. Steve Scalise (R).

When asked about the work that she would do as a Florida lawmaker, Scalise explained, “I have no doubt she will be a strong voice to stand up against the radical socialist agenda of the extreme left, and represent her constituents with the same vigor she brought as a world-renowned journalist.”

Thanking Scalise for his endorsement, Salazar said that she was “humbled & honored.”

She added that “he knows better than anyone that the radical socialist agenda must be stopped,” noting that “when I join great patriots like Steve in DC, we will work together to ensure that America will never be a socialist country!”

In 2016, President Trump carried the sunshine state, but in the 2020 election it will be a mandate on the job that the President has done so far.

As Salazar looks to turn Florida’s 27^th congressional district red, this election will definitely be one of the most closely watched in South Florida.
