Vowing to fight against the rising Socialist tide, Cuban-Americans are stepping up to run for Congress from South Florida to New York, Tennessee, and everywhere in between!

From L to R: New York Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), Emmy Award-Winning Journalist Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27), and Kingsport Mayor John Clark (TN-01).

With Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and their Socialist Squad handing Nancy Pelosi the Democrat majority in Congress, the threat that America may take the dangerous path towards Socialism is more prevalent than ever.

What better way to stand up to the Socialist Squad than to elect Representatives in Congress who have experienced the horrors of Socialism first-hand? Perhaps no group of people understands this Socialist threat better than the Cuban-American community.

Since 1959, thousands of Cubans have fled the Socialist hell hole that the island has become after 61 years of the brutal Castro regime. Today, over 2.3 million Americans of Cuban descent call the United States home.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez speaks to a constituent at Versailles, the world’s most famous Cuban restaurant. He is bidding to flip back FL-26 (Miami, Kendall, FL Keys) for the GOP.

Unsurprisingly, two of our nation’s leading voices against Socialism are Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL). Both are proud sons of Cuban exiles who have stood up to Socialism time after time.
