Anna Paulina Luna

Anna Paulina Luna describes overcoming a childhood marked by poverty, parental substance abuse, incarceration, homelessness, and domestic violence. Inspired by her parents’ perseverance—especially her mother’s escape from an abusive marriage—she developed a commitment to defending vulnerable people. She presents her journey from hardship to becoming a U.S. Air Force veteran, mother, and member of Congress as proof that hard work and perseverance can make the American dream possible.

Supporting Small Businesses and Creating Jobs. When local shops struggle to survive, our entire community feels the impact. We must end illegal tariffs, and cut red tape and regulatory burdens that drain capital from our entrepreneurs so they can grow and stay in Florida’s 13th District

Investing in Our Workforce. Skilled labor is a critical resource in our community, and it’s time we invest in our people. We must ensure the next generation has more than just a paycheck; we must build career paths to success, stability, and wealth for families here at home.

Cap auto loan interest rates at 15%. Anything above is predatory—and should be criminal. Launch a Universal Car Value Department: trade-ins are valued fairly, with dealers facing fines for lowball offers. Every used car must come with a free six-month, bumper-to-bumper warranty to guarantee quality and honesty.

We need to uplift every citizen—raising the lower and working classes so everyone can achieve real freedom. These programs should be managed by federal agencies to raise the median quality of life and to ensure fairness for all Americans, no matter where they live.

That’s why I support a federal Unemployment Agency—using national data to meet true needs across every state. This would free up states to invest in programs that most benefit their own people, while making sure no American falls through the cracks.

Republicans have passed devastating cuts—$500 billion taken from Medicare and $900 billion from Medicaid. These aren’t just numbers on a page. These are real seniors, working families, children, and vulnerable Americans who will lose access to the health care they depend on.

Because no hard-working American should lose their home, their savings, or their future just because they get sick or injured. I’m fighting for a healthcare system that gives every single one of us a fair shot at health and at life itself.

I will not stand by while Washington politicians turn their backs on our community. I am fighting to restore these critical funds, protect your benefits, and ensure every American receives the care and dignity they deserve.

Her platform emphasizes balancing the federal budget while protecting vital safety nets, including Social Security, Medicare, and food assistance programs.

I will introduce a bill to eliminate federal income tax for every household earning under $75,000 per year. Because real relief starts with letting you keep what you earn.

$500 billion cut from Medicare and $900 billion from Medicaid is unacceptable. Together, we can demand better and work to reverse these reckless decisions.

I’m committed to fighting inflation responsibly, restoring real affordability, and making sure America’s prosperity reaches working families—not just the wealthy or well-connected. Every hardworking American deserves stability, comfort, and the freedom to plan for their future.
