To ensure their safety, one of my first acts as Congresswoman, I will introduce legislation to create an Early Intervention and Prevention Center EIPC in every public school in the country with the task of identifying mental health issues in our students before they become critical and lead to tragic consequences.
As a Christian and a mother, I believe in a culture that values and nurtures all life from birth to natural death. As your Congresswoman, I will protect the life of the unborn and also the life and health of the mother. I oppose tax-payer funding for late-term abortions. I understand that, in some cases, the termination of a pregnancy—ectopic pregnancy, rape, and incest, may dangerously affect the health of the mother as determined by her physician.
My votes will consistently protect life, and I will work to ensure that abortions become the exception, not the rule. We must oppose the culture of death. I do understand that, sometimes, difficult and painful decisions will have to be made which might lead to the termination of a pregnancy. Likewise, I will always stand by the elderly and work so that as they enter their golden years, they do so with the dignity, care and support they so greatly deserve.
Ensuring their quality of life will always be one of my highest priorities as your Congresswoman. I will always support any legislative measure that puts more money in the pockets of the middle class. The Republican Tax Cut law was the right thing to do for our economy and our struggling middle class. I also believe, that tax cuts, combined with fewer regulations, have led to the explosive growth of our economy.
As your elected representative, I will work with my colleagues to ensure that the tax cut law becomes permanent for everyone, not just corporations.
The reduction in the corporate tax rate has been very beneficial to the U. I will also work hard to attract investments to South Florida, including strengthening the industries that drive our dynamic economy — particularly tourism, business, and international trade — by investing and improving our infrastructure—roads, public transportation, and traffic flow.
Our local economy is driven by our small businesses, who employ the majority of our residents. We must help these small businesses grow by allowing them to invest and create more high paying jobs. I believe that our government does more when it involves itself less in our markets and leaves the business of job growth for our job creators. The current system is simply not working. I am determined to protect South Florida families from mounting costs by reforming our broken healthcare system with cost-effective and patient-centered solutions.
South Floridians deserve better! I am dedicated to bringing patient-oriented reforms to Washington that will work for hard-working American families. The quality of life of the residents in our district could be significantly improved in several ways, one of which has to do with reducing the traffic flow problems that are threatening to paralyze our county.
In addition, few know that our major traffic arteries—, I, and —are managed and operated by different authorities, each responding to its own interests independently of each other. Add to this the political rivalries that exists in our community that have derailed any real effort to bring to this county a public transportation and road systems worthy of our community. This lack of coordination and cooperation between local, state, and federal authorities has — for decades — made it impossible to develop a coherent and practical plan to expand and improve our highways, roads, and public transportation systems Metrorail in particular.
Politics as usual, poor planning, and coordination has cost South Florida millions in federal dollars that are badly needed to solve the traffic and transportation crisis that affects all of us. It is shameful and intolerable that your commute to work will take almost an hour and half each way — every day!
And all because we have failed to present a united front in Washington that could make a strong case for why South Florida badly needs and deserves federal transportation dollars. We can and must do better for the betterment of our community… and with me in Congress you will get it!
Washington has failed to find a permanent solution to our immigration crisis. For too long, our approach to immigration has been piecemeal and mostly driven by executive orders.
But this has not worked. What we need is an Immigration Reform Plan that addresses the problem on all fronts. We must tackle border security in a humane manner — without separating families — swiftly remove criminal aliens and correct visa overstay, while establishing a work authorization for the undocumented and a permanent solution for DACA recipients.
It is also important that we have an honest conversation with Central American nations with the goal of identifying solutions that will stem the wave of immigrants seeking asylum in the U. Any assistance we provide to these countries should be tied to actions and, most importantly, measurable outcomes that bring about the kind of changes and transformation that will make it worth for the citizens of those nations to stay in their home country.
As Congresswoman, you can count on me to stand by our allies, especially Israel. The people of this community, the people of Miami As a Cuban American, I got to experience the American Dream, not because of myself but because of the amazing people of this community, that have always supported me in everything I have ever done. And for that, I will always be fraternally grateful. On December 31, , Salazar announced that she had tested positive for coronavirus. What's on my ballot?

Through her reporting, she became a leading voice against Fidel Castro, pointing out the actions of the government and its devastating effects on the people of Cuba. Eventually, Salazar became too vocal for the likes of Castro and the Cuban government. It was her persistence and passion to uncover the truth in defense of freedom that led to the interview of a lifetime. After years in pursuit and a direct confrontation with him in New York, Salazar was granted an interview with Fidel Castro.
Salazar would go on to be a national news anchorwoman at Telemundo and have a long run with her own top-rated show on Mega TV.
