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.

First-quarter filings show Anna Paulina Luna's fundraising lead 

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. Luna is collecting money for her campaign because Democrats have said they plan to run against her in Florida’s 13th Congressional District.

Now speaking about her 2024 election, Luna led Democrat Whitney Fox by a 55 percent to 45 percent margin with 88 percent of the vote counted, according to Florida Phoenix. For those unaware, Luna is from Southern California and served in the US Air Force.
