Voted nay on H.R. 5376 (Inflation Reduction Act of 2022) on 2022-08-12: Salazar voted against the IRA's clean energy investments and Medicare drug price negotiation provisions while her district has significant Cuban-American elderly population who would benefit from reduced medication costs. The vote aligned with fossil fuel donors and pharmaceutical industry interests over constituent healthcare interests.

Voted yea on H.R. 2 (Secure the Border Act of 2023) on 2023-05-11: Salazar voted for hardline immigration restriction while representing FL-27, which has 76% non-English-speaking households and 54.2% foreign-born population — many of whom are her constituents' family members. The donor-aligned vote (restriction lobby) conflicts with the district's immigrant-heavy demographic where border enforcement directly affects families.

Voted yea on H.R. 2670 (National Defense Authorization Act FY 2024) on 2023-07-27: Salazar voted for the $886 billion defense authorization while representing FL-27 with significant veteran population and military-adjacent Miami defense contractors. The donor-aligned vote benefits defense industry PACs who fund her campaign, while her district's median income ($78,952) and poverty rate (13%) suggest federal resources could better serve constituent social services.
