NRCC Statement on FL-27 Primary Election

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released the following statement on Florida’s 27th congressional district primary election:

“Lucia Báez-Geller leaves the primary baggage-laden and broke. Báez-Geller’s woke agenda on the Miami-Dade County School Board is toxic for Florida voters. Republicans are eager to remind voters that Congresswoman Maria Salazar is a fighter for commonsense immigration policies, she never shies away from tackling socialism head-on, and she is a fighter who delivers for Miami-Dade families.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar

Background: 

• FL-27 is considered a “Likely Republican” seat.
• Congresswoman Salazar won by 15 points in 2022. 
• Miami-Dade has heavily trended toward Republicans in recent cycles. 
• There are 154% more registered Republican Hispanic voters in Miami-Dade than Hispanic Democrats.
