Today, Maria Elvira Salazar elected Rep. Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. After voting three separate times for Jim Jordan, Salazar went all in for Johnson and his extremism:
In case you haven’t heard of him, here’s a bit about Mike Johnson:
- Johnson pushed for a total abortion ban without exceptions and voted for legislation to punish doctors for providing essential reproductive care.
- Johnson served as the chair of the Republican Study Committee, leading their efforts to slash Social Security and Medicare.
- Johnson was instrumental in the plan to overturn the 2020 election – the New York Times named him “the most important architect of the Electoral College objections.”
María Elvira Salazar has abandoned Florida’s middle-class families, instead siding with election deniers, anti-abortion zealots, and relentless attacks on Social Security and Medicare.
DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Mike Johnson is Jim Jordan in a sports coat. By electing him as House Speaker, María Elvira Salazar has endorsed Johnson’s extreme agenda that bans abortion nationwide, propagates conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, and cuts Social Security. We will ensure that Floridians know Salazar once again put extremism over bipartisanship – all at the expense of hard-working families.”
