Florida rep's controversial moves raise eyebrows in redrawn district
St. Petersburgʼs congressional seat shows interesting dynamics after district changes. First-term representative **Anna Paulina Luna**ʼs actions draw attention from both sides of political spectrum
In St Petersburgʼs re-configured voting district (which now has more right-leaning voters) democrats see a chance to win due to the current representatives actions. Anna Paulina Luna‚ who represents the area made some eye-catching moves that got peoples attention
Her stance on key issues raised some questions: she spread un-true info about FEMA giving disaster-money to non-documented people and didnt support a FEMA funding bill right before two big storms hit her area. Luna also calls herself a “pro-life extremist“ which got mixed reactions
The representative took some bold-but-failed steps in Congress — like trying to get Attorney General Merrick Garland held in contempt (which didnt work out). She also pushed hard to give ex-president Trump a special award: the Congressional Gold Medal; but that plan hasnt moved forward
- Made wrong claims about FEMA funds going to migrants
- Voted no on storm help before hurricanes
- Called herself extreme on abortion topic
- Failed attempt against AG Garland
- Wanted Trump to get gold medal
The local political scene changed after district lines got re-drawn: what was once a back-and-forth area now has more GOP voters but democrats think Lunas moves might change things
