Republican Representative Maria Elvira Salazar stated she supported the 21st Century Road to Housing Act after the House passed the bill 358-32, but she did not cast a vote because her mother died. The legislation, which includes the RESIDE Act, aims to increase housing supply and cut regulatory barriers. It cleared the House on May 30, 2025, following committee and floor votes. Salazar’s office said she helped shape the bill in the Financial Services Committee and twice on the House floor, and that the RESIDE provision reflected her housing priorities. Madison Andrus, a DCCC spokesperson, said Miami residents face rising housing costs and expect elected officials to attend votes. The bill now proceeds to the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain, and Salazar’s role in the 2026 election cycle is yet to be determined.
