“Supermarket” focuses on inflation & supply chain issues crushing Florida families, Salazar’s commitment to stop the Socialists in Congress.

The María Elvira Salazar campaign today released its first ad of the general election in Florida’s 27th congressional district. “Supermarket” puts a spotlight on high prices and supply shortages at the grocery store and the gas station and highlights Salazar’s mission to get the economy back on track.

The ad opens with Salazar drawing a stark contrast between the economic crisis we face today and the prosperity our country saw just two years ago before far-left politicians came into power. “We lived in another world,” she says after noting the empty shelves at local supermarkets and skyrocketing prices at the pump. Salazar closes by sharing her background as the daughter of refugees and promising to take the fight to the Socialists in Washington.

“Supermarket” will air, in both English and Spanish, in the Miami Media Market as part of an over $500,000 ad buy.

Ad Script

María Elvira Salazar:

“When you go to the supermarket, you cannot get all you need. At the gas station, we can’t even fill our tanks.”

“I’m María Elvira Salazar. Two years ago, we lived in another world.”

“But now inflation is out of control, the environment is in danger, and the American Dream is slipping away.”

“I’m María Elvira Salazar, and I approve this message because my parents lost their country to socialism. Over my dead body will we lose ours.”

“En sólo una generación, mi familia pasó de huir de la Cuba comunista a representar a miles de otros exiliados en el Congreso –algo que sólo es posible aquí en los Estados Unidos”, dijo la representante Salazar. “El sueño americano es alcanzable, pero debe ser protegido. Nuestra comunidad es una de las más diversas del país, la mayoría de nosotros estamos relacionados con exiliados de todo el mundo. Las familias de hoy en día están luchando con muchos de los mismos problemas de los que huimos: una inflación récord, el aumento de la delincuencia en nuestras comunidades y trabajos que no pagan las facturas. Estoy dispuesta a continuar la lucha contra las políticas destructivas que nos han traído hasta aquí y que ponen en peligro el excepcionalismo estadounidense”.

La reelección de Salazar ha sido respaldada por la gobernadora Nikki Haley, ex embajadora en las Naciones Unidas; Mike Pompeo, ex secretario de Estado y ex director de la CIA, además del actual senador estadounidense Tim Scott y la Asociación Nacional de Organizaciones Policiales (NAPO).

“In just one generation, my family went from fleeing communist Cuba to representing thousands of other exiles in Congress — something that’s only made possible here in the United States,” said Rep. Salazar. “The American Dream is achievable, but it must be protected. Our community is one of the most diverse in the country, most of us related to exiles from all over the world. Today’s families are struggling with many of the same issues we fled from: record-high inflation, increased crime in our communities, and jobs that don’t pay the bills. I’m ready to continue the fight against reckless policies that led us here and put American exceptionalism at risk.”

Salazar’s re-election has been endorsed by former United Nations Ambassador and Governor Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State and CIA director Mike Pompeo, current U.S. Senator Tim Scott, and the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO).

“On behalf of the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO), I am very pleased to formally announce NAPO’s endorsement of [Rep. Salazar’s] re-election campaign for United States House of Representatives,” said Michael McHale, President of NAPO. “NAPO […] is confident [she] will continue [her] support of the law enforcement community in Congress.”

“The Democrats’ anti-police rhetoric has led to a major decline in police retention and even higher crime,” said Rep. Salazar. “As the daughter of Cuban exiles, I firmly support the rule of law and those who enforce it. Since coming to Congress, I’ve worked hard to support our law enforcement and provide them with the tools they need to make our communities safer. I’m proud to receive NAPO’s endorsement and look forward to continuing to work with our law enforcement to reduce crime here in Miami.”

“Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar has spent her life defending freedom and truth,” said Secretary Pompeo. “Rep. Salazar spent her career as a journalist holding the corrupt and powerful accountable. In just her first term, María has continued to do this representing the people of Florida’s 27th District. Born to Cuban-immigrant parents, she knows how valuable the American Dream is and I know she will continue to fight so that all Americans have the ability to achieve it. We need María fighting in Congress against the policies pushed by Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi – policies that benefit dictators and hurt Americans. I’m proud to endorse her for re-election!”

“70% of my constituents come from Latin America, many of them fleeing the horrors of socialism and communism,” said Rep. Salazar. “Under Secretary Pompeo’s leadership, America’s foreign policy held the dictators and purveyors of these horrors accountable. I am honored to have his support and am excited to work together: to protect the American Dream and to secure freedom, both here and abroad.”
