Rep. Maria Salazar Criticized for Claiming Credit on Hospital Funding She Opposed

Despite voting against the $1.4 million funding for Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, Rep. Maria Salazar has been promoting her role in securing the funds.

Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) is under scrutiny for taking credit for $1.4 million in funding to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, despite having voted against the bill that provided the money.
Salazar's office claims she worked to include the funding in the Fiscal Year 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which she later opposed due to 'wasteful measures.'
The congresswoman has been featured in social media posts and press releases, celebrating the delivery of the funds to the hospital.
Critics argue Salazar's actions mislead the public about her legislative record, highlighting a pattern of claiming credit for opposed investments.
This incident follows previous instances where Salazar was called out for similar behavior regarding other federal investments she voted against.
