Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida’s 27th congressional district, posted several updates on her official X account on March 16, 2026.
In one post, Salazar referenced her recent appearance on Fox News with Trey Gowdy to discuss national security and U.S. policy toward Cuba. She wrote: “I joined @TGowdySC on @FoxNews this weekend to discuss the danger defunding DHS when America needs it most. The Democrats should know that National Security is not a game. We also talked about the road ahead for Cuba’s freedom, thanks to a President who isn’t afraid to fight” (March 16, 2026).
Earlier that day, Salazar posted a message of support for Susie Wiles, stating: “Sending all my strength and prayers to @SusieWiles as she faces this new challenge. She has been a fighter her entire life, and I have no doubt the Lord will walk with her every step of this battle.” (March 16, 2026).
