Three Prominent Latin American Political Leaders Back María Elvira Salazar as She Faces Reelection Fight

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 25: Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) (C), accompanied by Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) (C-L), speaks at a Dignity Coalition news conference on Capitol Hill on March 25, 2026 in Washington, DC. The Dignity Coalition is a bipartisan group that has formed to support the "Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act of 2025" (the DIGNIDAD Act or Dignity Act, H.R. 4393), which they argue is a solution to fix the immigration system in the United States.

Three prominent Latin American political figures have endorsed Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar's reelection campaign in Florida, prompting accusations of foreign electoral interference from Democrats, including the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Argentina's President Javier Milei, Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella and Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado have publicly backed Salazar, who is seeking another term representing Miami's heavily Hispanic 27th Congressional District, as The Washington Post points out.
