Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Florida’s 27th district, posted several messages on her Twitter account addressing recent political developments in Colombia and the start of hurricane season in South Florida.
On May 31, 2026, Salazar commented on the Colombian elections, stating: “Los resultados de hoy en Colombia envían un mensaje claro: millones de ciudadanos están cansados del fracaso, la división y la incertidumbre, y quieren que el país retome el rumbo. @ABDELAESPRIELLA ha demostrado liderazgo firme, carácter y la autoridad que exige este momento”.
Later that day, she called for unity among right-wing Colombians to oppose leftist movements in the country. She wrote: “La derecha colombiana tiene una responsabilidad histórica. Ha llegado la hora de la unidad. Por eso les pido a todos los colombianos de bien que cierren filas detrás de @ABDELAESPRIELLA para impedir que Colombia siga por el camino del petrismo y el socialismo. Este no es https://t.co/Sm3dq60da9”.
The following day, Salazar addressed constituents in South Florida regarding hurricane preparedness as the official season began. On June 1, 2026, she posted: “Hurricane Season officially begins today. For South Floridians, preparedness isn’t optional. We’ve seen firsthand the impact storms can have on our homes, our businesses, and our communities. The best time to prepare is before a storm is in the forecast. Make a plan, check https://t.co/AFPMpZZa9X”.
Salazar has been vocal about both Latin American politics and disaster readiness throughout her tenure as a representative for Miami’s diverse population.
