Former journalist and Republican candidate María Elvira Salazar has won Florida’s 27th Congressional District race and is headed to Washington, D.C.
The second time is a charm for Salazar, who lost to Democratic Rep. Donna Shalala when she first ran for office in 2018.
After an intensive campaign, the veteran reporter and longtime Spanish-language TV personality, defeated Shalala to win the very same seat she lost two years ago.
In 2018, Shalala won with 51.8% of the vote. Salazar got 45.8%. The Cuban-American journalist turned the vote around in the 2020 election. She won 51.4% of the vote, with her opponent picking up the remaining 48.6%.

Can’t believe this lunatic won her election, she refused to wear a mask in a store in a Twitter video, while we’re in a pandemic. She will be one of Trump’s coomies, if he re-elected which won’t happen. She ready being a scapegoat for the GOP as being female elected for the GOP. No one cares, and if Biden is elected she’ll be irrelevant and lose her seat in two more years!!! When Donna Shalala reclaims her seat!!! I’m glad Latinos are having a talk about their anti-black racism as an Afro-Latino I just identify African Americans cause I’m more of that than Latino. And these white Hispanic there raising red-flags we need to be concerned there shady one time they are white because there are white there has skin which is what the white race has so there white since they claim Hispanics aren’t a race!!! Cause at one point there white cause they have white skin like the white race so that makes them white since Hispanics aren’t a race, then sometimes they claim ethnicity that’s shady AF.

I’m upset she’ll be one of Trump commies if he gets re-elected which he won’t she’ll be that she already becoming a scapegoat in the GOP as one of the female elected to the GOP this year as nobody cares!!! this woman literally refused to wear a mask in a store in the middle of a Pandemic that we’re in, on a Twitter video that went viral for the democrats cause she’s crazy!!! if Biden’s elected she become irrelevant and she has only one term!!! And Donna Shalala will reclaim her seat in 2022. but it’s more than that white Hispanics have been raising serious red-flags with their anti-blackness, as an Afro-Latinos who identifies more like an African American cause probably more that than Latino. I don’t wanna be involved in it. White Hispanics claim their whiteness and that their white cause they have white skin just lie the white race does so here their white people since Hispanics aren’t a race. Sometimes the claim ethnicity that shady AF.
