01

The person behind the name

Anna Paulina Luna’s public career runs from enlisted Air Force service through conservative advocacy work to two terms in the U.S. House.

Luna represents Florida’s 13th Congressional District, based in Pinellas County, and is serving her second term. The Clerk of the House lists her on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Her official biography identifies her as chairwoman of the Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. The Florida Division of Elections lists her as the qualified Republican candidate for the seat in the November 3, 2026 general election. [1][2][3][6][9]

Education and military service

Her official biography says she was raised by a single mother in Southern California, joined the military as a young adult, and went on to graduate from the University of West Florida with a bachelor’s degree in biology. It says she met her husband, Andy, while serving in the United States Air Force. [3]

The Washington Post reported in February 2023 that she was born Anna Paulina Mayerhofer in 1989 in Santa Ana, California, and that she enlisted in the Air Force in 2009, at 19. [5]

From advocacy work to Congress

Her campaign biography says Charlie Kirk asked her to join Turning Point USA as its national director of Hispanic engagement. She ran for the 13th District seat in 2020 and lost to Democrat Charlie Crist, 47.0% to 53.0%. [10][11]

She won the seat in 2022 with 53.1% to Democrat Eric Lynn’s 45.1%, and was re-elected in 2024 with 54.8% to Democrat Whitney Fox’s 45.2%. Her official biography describes her as the first Mexican-American woman elected to Congress from Florida, a description The Washington Post also used in 2023, and says Time named her that year to its list of the next 100 most influential people. [3][4][5][12]

A note on military service. The official biography gives no dates, rank or specialty for Luna’s Air Force service. Air & Space Forces Magazine, citing media reports, described her in November 2022 as a former enlisted airman who joined at 19, served as an airfield manager, was honorably discharged and later joined the Oregon Air National Guard for a time. The Washington Post reported that she trained at Lackland and Keesler Air Force bases before being assigned to Whiteman Air Force Base and then Hurlburt Field. This profile did not review service records and makes no claim about decorations. [3][5][7]

02

Life & public service

From an unsuccessful run in 2020 to a third general-election campaign as the Republican nominee, the documented milestones follow official results, House roll calls and committee records.

1989

2023

House adopts her Schiff censure

On June 21 the House agreed to H.Res. 521, censuring Representative Adam Schiff, by 213 to 209. A week earlier a version carrying a $16 million fine had been tabled. [13][14]

2024

Garland contempt resolution falls short

Her inherent-contempt resolution, which would have fined Attorney General Merrick Garland $10,000 a day, was rejected 204–210 on July 11. [15][16]

2024

Re-elected

Won a second term with 225,636 votes (54.8%) to Democrat Whitney Fox’s 185,930 (45.2%). [12]

House Oversight Chairman James Comer announced on February 11 that Luna would lead the committee’s new Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, authorized for six months under committee rules. [9]

2025

Proxy-voting fight and Freedom Caucus exit

Axios reported on March 31 that she had resigned from the House Freedom Caucus during her push to let new parents in Congress vote by proxy. On April 1 she was one of nine Republicans who voted with Democrats to reject a House rule, 206–222. CBS News reported on April 7 that she had reached a vote-pairing agreement with Speaker Mike Johnson. [17][18][19][20]

2025

Votes for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Voted aye on July 3 when the House concurred in the Senate amendment to H.R. 1, 218–214. In August she introduced a resolution to bring a congressional stock-trading ban to the floor. [21][22]

2026

A redrawn district and a third campaign

Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new congressional map on May 4; WUSF reported that it shifted the 13th District north and removed St. Petersburg, where Luna lives. She qualified on June 8, and the state’s candidate list marks her primary as “Unopposed.” Leela Gray won the Democratic primary on August 18. [1][2][23][24][25]

03

Accomplishments, in the record

Legislation and official documents establish the following work. Outcomes are described at the level supported by those records, with shared credit where other officials were principal authors.

2023 / CENSURE OF ADAM SCHIFFGovernment record

A censure resolution adopted by the House

The House agreed to H.Res. 521, censuring Representative Adam Schiff, on June 21, 2023. The Clerk’s tally was 213 to 209, with six members voting present; all 213 yeas were Republican. NPR identified the measure as Luna’s resolution and reported that she led the effort. [13][14]

According to NPR, the resolution said Schiff misled the public during congressional investigations of the Trump campaign’s potential ties to Russia. A week earlier nearly two dozen Republicans had joined Democrats to table her first version, which carried a $16 million fine. The adopted text dropped the fine and referred Schiff to the House Ethics Committee. A censure is an act of the House, not a finding by a court. [14]

2024 / INHERENT CONTEMPTGovernment record

Forcing a contempt vote on the attorney general

On May 7, 2024, Luna’s office announced that she had introduced H.Res. 1205 to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in inherent contempt of Congress for failing to respond to a subpoena. CBS News reported that the subpoena sought the audio recording of an interview concerning President Biden’s handling of classified documents. In July she forced a floor vote on H.Res. 1344, a resolution to find Garland in contempt of the House; on July 10 the House rejected a motion to table it, 207–209. [15][16][26]

The next day the resolution, which would have fined Garland $10,000 per day, was rejected 204–210; CBS reported that four Republicans voted with all Democrats against it. CBS also reported that Luna had first planned a version that could have led to Garland being taken into custody, and switched to the daily fine after pushback from Republican colleagues. [15]

2025 / DECLASSIFICATION TASK FORCEGovernment record

Chairing a House declassification task force

On February 11, 2025, House Oversight Chairman James Comer announced a Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, led by Luna and authorized for six months under committee rules, to examine the declassification of materials in the public interest. In the announcement Luna cited the assassinations of President Kennedy, Senator Kennedy and the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., and said the task force would also investigate “UAPs/USOs, the Epstein client list, COVID-19 origins, and the 9/11 files.” [9]

On July 14, 2025, her office announced that the task force had secured release of the full CIA personnel file of officer George Joannides. The release says the files confirm Joannides was case officer for a Cuban exile group and later misled Congress about the agency’s ties to the group and to Lee Harvey Oswald. Those are her office’s characterizations; this profile did not review the file. [27]

2025 / HOUSE RULESGovernment record

A discharge petition on votes for new parents

NPR reported that Luna and Representative Brittany Pettersen, a Colorado Democrat, worked on legislation to let new parents in the House vote by proxy for 12 weeks around the birth of a child. Luna used a discharge petition, which forces a floor vote once 218 members sign. CBS News reported that the petition reached the threshold with 206 Democrats and 11 other Republicans signing on. [17][19][20]

NPR reported that Speaker Mike Johnson designed a special rule to prevent a vote on the measure. On April 1, 2025, the House rejected that rule, H.Res. 282, by 206 to 222; the Clerk records Luna among nine Republicans voting no. On April 7 CBS reported that she had agreed with Johnson to use vote pairing instead, in which an absent member is matched with a present member on the opposite side of a question. Pettersen said the agreement “does not address the barriers we’ve fought so hard to overcome.” [18][19][20]

2025 / CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADINGGovernment record

Seeking a floor vote on a stock-trading ban

On August 29, 2025, Luna’s office announced a resolution providing for immediate consideration of H.R. 1908, the End Congressional Stock Trading Act. Her release describes the bill as barring members of Congress, their spouses and dependent children from trading or owning individual stocks, bonds, commodities or complex investment vehicles. [22]

The release establishes that she introduced the procedural resolution and records her reasons. It does not name the bill’s sponsor, and it does not establish that the House voted on the bill. [22]

2025 / BUDGET RECONCILIATIONGovernment record

Voting for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

The Clerk’s record shows Luna voted aye on July 3, 2025, when the House concurred in the Senate amendment to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, by 218 to 214. Two Republicans voted no. The roll call records her vote; it does not measure the law’s effects in her district. [21]

2025–26 / COMMITTEES AND CAMPAIGN FILINGSGovernment record

Committee seats and the campaign’s federal filings

The Clerk of the House lists Luna on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, with seats on its Europe and its Oversight and Intelligence subcommittees, and on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, where her subcommittees include Delivering on Government Efficiency and Military and Foreign Affairs. [6]

Federal Election Commission records identify Anna Paulina Luna for Congress (C00718239) as her principal campaign committee. For the 2025–2026 cycle the FEC page showed total receipts of $3,233,311.85, total disbursements of $1,890,603.08 and ending cash on hand of $1,474,124.32, covering January 1, 2025 through July 29, 2026. [28]

04

Family & community

Luna’s official biography says she lives in St. Petersburg with her husband, Andy, whom she met while serving in the Air Force. It states that he earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart while fighting in Afghanistan. [3]

On her campaign site she describes herself as “a mom, USAF veteran, and wife” and says she is “one of the youngest members of Congress.” [29]

The Clerk of the House lists St. Petersburg as her hometown. Her official website lists a district office in Seminole, Florida. [3][6]

Her official biography does not state a religious affiliation, and this profile makes no claim about one. [3]

05

Her mission for Florida

Campaign’s stated purpose

Make Pinellas Affordable Again.

The following summarizes the agenda on Luna’s official campaign website, which presents it as a list of work under the heading “Make Pinellas Affordable Again.” These are the campaign’s own descriptions, not independently verified accomplishments; co-sponsoring a bill is not the same as enacting it. [29][30]

01

Veterans’ mental-health care

Campaign position

The campaign says she co-sponsored legislation to expand care for military veterans seeking mental-health or substance-abuse treatment. [30]

02

Foreign ownership of farmland

Campaign position

The site cites a co-sponsored bill to prohibit China, Russia, Iran and North Korea from purchasing U.S. agricultural land or agricultural companies. [30]

03

Student-loan interest

Campaign position

The site lists co-sponsored legislation to cap student-loan interest rates at 3%. [30]

04

Drug cartels

Campaign position

The site lists co-sponsored legislation to designate and treat drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. [30]

05

Social Security taxes

Campaign position

The site lists co-sponsored legislation to eliminate taxes on seniors’ Social Security benefits. [30]

06

Pinellas beaches

Campaign position

The campaign says she pressured the Army Corps of Engineers to start Pinellas beach renourishment projects. WUSF reported on June 1, 2026 that the Corps would again fund the work after offering temporary rather than permanent easements; that report does not mention Luna, so it neither confirms nor contradicts the campaign’s account. [30][31]

07

Federal spending

Campaign position

The site says she “voted against wasteful & corrupt government spending repeatedly.” It does not list the votes. [30]

08

Immigration and online speech

Campaign position

The home page says Luna is speaking out against illegal immigration, cancel culture and big-tech censorship, and states that President Trump has endorsed her. [29]

How to assess a proposal. A campaign plan states an intention. Enactment, implementation costs, replacement revenue, and measured results are separate questions. These priorities should be read alongside the documented record above.

06

The fuller record

A useful profile includes policy tradeoffs, the limits of a claim, and responses to material criticism.

  • Questions about her biography

    Luna’s official and campaign biographies describe a hard upbringing by a single mother in Southern California. On February 10, 2023, The Washington Post reported that her account of an isolated and impoverished childhood had surprised some friends and family who knew her earlier, and quoted a cousin who said she was regularly included in family gatherings. The Post said her congressional office did not answer a detailed list of questions and that her communications director called the questions “bizarre.” It quoted her mother as saying, “Anna’s story is layered and complex because my story is layered and complex.” The article relays recollections; it is not an official finding. [3][5][29]

  • Censure and contempt: outcomes and objections

    Two of her resolutions met resistance inside her own party. NPR reported that nearly two dozen Republicans helped table the first Schiff censure over its $16 million fine, and Schiff responded, “You honor me with your enmity.” On the Garland measure, CBS News reported that four Republicans joined all Democrats in opposition and that the Justice Department called the move unconstitutional, saying, “We are confident our arguments would prevail in court.” Luna said on the House floor, “In order for the House of Representatives to do its job, we must have access to the information that will allow us to make informed decisions on behalf of our constituents.” [14][15]

  • A break with the Freedom Caucus

    Axios reported on March 31, 2025 that Luna had resigned from the House Freedom Caucus, writing that a small group of members had threatened the Speaker to make him block her discharge petition. The Axios report carried no response from the caucus. NPR reported that Speaker Johnson maintained proxy voting is unconstitutional. The agreement CBS News described provides for vote pairing rather than proxy voting. Johnson said of it, “no harm, no foul,” while Luna said pairing would be “open for the entire conference to use when unable to vote.” Representative Brittany Pettersen, the Colorado Democrat who worked with her on the measure, said the agreement did not address the barriers its backers had fought to overcome. [17][19][20]

  • Campaign claims, ratings and the record

    Luna’s campaign biography says she is running again “after fulfilling every one of my campaign promises during my first term,” and the campaign calls her “a strong independent leader.” The campaign’s own list of her work consists mostly of co-sponsorships, without bill numbers or outcomes. The records reviewed here document votes, resolutions, a task force chairmanship and committee assignments; they do not establish that a bill she sponsored became law. Heritage Action’s scorecard gives her 94% for the 119th Congress and 96% lifetime, votes that closely track that conservative advocacy group’s positions, while her April 1, 2025 vote on the rule shows a break with House Republican leadership. A scorecard reflects the votes an organization selects; it is not an official measure. [10][18][29][30][32]

  • A meeting with a Kremlin envoy

    Luna sits on the Foreign Affairs Committee’s Europe subcommittee. Agence France-Presse reported on October 26, 2025 that Kirill Dmitriev, President Vladimir Putin’s economic envoy, met with her during a visit to the United States and said on X that she was organizing “a meeting between U.S. Congress members and the Russian Duma to encourage parliamentary dialogue.” That description comes from the envoy’s own post. The report, carried by The Moscow Times, includes no statement from Luna, and the sources reviewed here do not establish what came of the proposal. [6][33]

  • An ethics complaint against a senator, dismissed

    Luna filed a complaint with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics against Senator Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, alleging what Fox News described as “campaign finance violations and inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature.” Fox News reported on June 29, 2026 that the committee dismissed it, writing to Gallego that it “did not find evidence that your actions violated Federal law, Senate Rules, or related standards of conduct.” Gallego said, “I look forward to an apology from Rep. Luna for weaponizing the ethics process.” Luna did not withdraw the allegations; she replied on X, “Once a creep, always a creep.” The dismissal is the finding of a Senate committee, not a court, and the report does not describe the evidence the committee reviewed. [34]

  • A redrawn district

    WUSF and Suncoast Searchlight reported on May 2, 2026 that the congressional map passed by the Legislature that week moved the 13th District north to just below New Port Richey and carved out urban St. Petersburg. The report said state voter records show Luna’s residence in St. Petersburg, several blocks from the new district, and that she declined to comment on the redistricting. Governor Ron DeSantis signed the map on May 4, and a voting rights group and Florida voters sued the same day in Leon County Circuit Court, alleging it violates the state’s Fair Districts amendment. This profile did not review later rulings. The reports do not say the change affects her eligibility. [23][24]

Read from: files.floridados.gov/media/706383/ovr-faq-eng-v20220801-final.pdf
  5. Vote-by-mail ballots start being sentSeptember 24, 2026 through October 1, 2026 is the window in which county Supervisors of Elections send vote-by-mail ballots to domestic voters whose requests are already on file. Ballots for military and overseas (UOCAVA) voters must be sent by September 19, 2026. For a later request, the Supervisor must mail the ballot within 2 business days, and no later than October 24, 2026. Read from: dos.fl.gov/elections/for-voters/election-dates
  6. Early voting beginsOctober 24, 2026 is the first day of the 8-day mandatory early voting period, offered in every county. A county may add optional early voting days from October 19, 2026 through October 23, 2026; contact your county Supervisor of Elections for the days offered where you live. Read from: files.floridados.gov/media/711204/2026-calendar-20260713.pdf

Rules to know

  1. What to bringWhether you vote during early voting or on Election Day, you must bring a current and valid photo ID with signature. The Division of Elections lists these acceptable photo IDs: Florida driver license; Florida identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles; United States passport; debit or credit card; military identification; student identification; retirement center identification; neighborhood association identification; public assistance identification; veteran health identification card issued by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs; license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm issued pursuant to s. 790.06, Florida Statutes; and employee identification card issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the Federal Government, the state, a county, or a municipality. If your photo ID does not include your signature, you will be asked to provide another ID that has your signature. If you do not bring proper ID, you can still vote a provisional ballot; it counts if you are eligible, voted in the proper precinct, and the signature on the provisional ballot matches the signature in your registration record. A voter who votes a provisional ballot may present further evidence of eligibility to the Supervisor of Elections until 5 p.m. (local time) on November 5, 2026, the second day after the election. Read from: dos.fl.gov/elections/for-voters/voting/election-day-voting
  2. Voting by mailIn Florida a voter has the option to vote by mail, at an early voting site, or at the assigned polling location on Election Day. Request a vote-by-mail ballot from the Supervisor of Elections in the county where you are registered: by signed writing on Form DS-DE 160, the Statewide Vote-by-Mail Ballot Request Form (by mail, online, fax or as a scanned attachment to an email), in person, or by phone. Give your name, date of birth, address, and your Florida driver license number, Florida identification card number or the last four digits of your Social Security number, whichever the Supervisor can verify, plus your signature if the request is written; a signed written request is required if the ballot is to go to an address other than the one on file. A request to have the ballot mailed must reach the Supervisor no later than 5 p.m. on October 22, 2026. A request covers all elections through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election; after that it must be renewed. Return the voted ballot by mail or in person, or deposit it in a secure drop box (secure ballot intake station) at a Supervisor's main or branch office or at a designated early voting site. It must be received, regardless of postmark, by the Supervisor of Elections' office no later than 7:00 p.m. (local time) on November 3, 2026; the Division passes along the U.S. Postal Service's recommendation to mail it at least one week before that deadline. A voted vote-by-mail ballot cannot be dropped off at a polling place on Election Day. To vote in person instead, bring the ballot (marked or unmarked) to the polls, turn it in and vote a regular ballot. Read from: dos.fl.gov/elections/for-voters/voting/vote-by-mail
  3. Early voting in personEligible and registered voters can vote before Election Day at any designated early voting site within their county of registration during early voting days and hours. For the November 3, 2026 general election, every county must offer early voting from October 24, 2026 through October 31, 2026; a Supervisor of Elections may add days as early as October 19, 2026 and as late as November 1, 2026. Each site must be open at least 8 hours and no more than 12 hours a day. The Division of Elections says its statewide list of early voting sites and secure ballot intake stations for the general election will be available after October 4, 2026; your county Supervisor of Elections' website has the specific dates, times and locations. Bring a current and valid photo ID with signature (see What to bring). Secure ballot intake stations for returning vote-by-mail ballots are placed at early voting sites and other authorized areas, are available only at the hours specified by law, and are continuously monitored by an employee of the Supervisor's office. Read from: dos.fl.gov/elections/for-voters/voting/early-voting-and-secure-ballot-intake-stations
  4. Track your vote-by-mail ballotBallot tracking in Florida runs through the county Supervisors of Elections. The Division of Elections' Vote-by-Mail Ballot Information and Status Lookup page links to each county's site, where you can request a vote-by-mail ballot and track the status of your request and your ballot. The statewide Voter Information Lookup is for checking your voter registration and party status: enter your first name, last name and birth date as they appear in your registration record. For your polling place, sample ballot and vote-by-mail ballot status, that tool directs you to your Supervisor of Elections' website. Read from: dos.fl.gov/elections/for-voters/check-your-voter-status-and-polling-place/vote-by-mail-ballot-information-and-status-lookup
  5. Fixing a missing or mismatched signatureThe Supervisor of Elections must notify you if your signature is missing from the vote-by-mail ballot certificate or does not match the one on record. To correct it, complete the Vote-by-Mail Ballot Cure Affidavit (Form DS-DE 139) and include a copy of identification; the form and the copy of the ID can be returned by mail, email, fax, or in person. For the November 3, 2026 general election the deadline is 5 p.m. (local time) on November 5, 2026, the 2nd day after the election. The same deadline applies to an affidavit curing a missing or mismatched signature on a provisional ballot. Read from: dos.fl.gov/elections/for-voters/voting/vote-by-mail
