WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump is here to support GOP Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna for her reelection in 2026. On Truth Social, he shared a note directing support to Luna. He called her a “good friend,” a “fighter,” and a “winner.” He praised her, calling her a true MAGA warrior.

Back in 2024, Anna Paulina Luna, the conservative Republican officeholder in Florida’s 13th Congressional District in Pinellas County, defeated Democrat Whitney Fox in the Sunshine State’s most closely watched congressional race.

She is seeking a third term, even before any political opponent has filed to run against her in 2026. She was elected back in 2022 and reelected in 2024.

Anna Paulina Luna raised close to $549,000 in the first quarter. The St Petersburg Republican finished the quarter with about $376,000 in cash on hand, based on her April filing with the Federal Election Commission, as reported by Florida Politics.
