After Close Florida Race, Luna Posts Pledge Against Corporate PAC Foreign-Policy Funds

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said she will no longer accept corporate political action committee money or special-interest money tied to foreign policy. She posted the pledge on her personal X account, @realannapaulina, on the evening of Nov. 5, 2026, Eastern time, after a narrow win for a third House term in Florida’s 13th District.

In the full text of that post, Luna wrote: “I will no longer be taking corporate PAC money or any special interest money tied to foreign policy. This cycle, I was able to raise around $4 million this cycle with a large portion in small-dollar donations. I will be one of a handful of elected officials who will not take this money anymore, and I think that’s incredibly important for the American people.” She added that campaign finance is “a double-edged sword,” that some officials cannot make the same choice until they build a larger support base, and that “It is important to lead by example.” The post included a video of her remarks and closed by thanking supporters and looking ahead to the 120th Congress.

Spectrum Bay News 9 reported that the Associated Press called Florida’s 13th District for Luna on Nov. 5. With 99% of the vote counted, Luna had 155,117 votes (49.5%), Democrat Leela Gray had 152,600 (48.7%), and no-party candidate Tony D’Arrigo had 5,779 (1.8%), a lead of 2,517 votes in that reported count. Bay News 9 also reported that Luna said she will no longer take PAC or foreign interest money, quoting her: “I wanted to do it this cycle but obviously when you’re in competitive races you have to see if you can hit the threshold,” and “I was able to raise close to four million dollars in small dollar donations usually about 20 bucks or so and so for me that’s a huge deal.”

The Floridian separately covered the same X announcement and quoted additional lines from Luna’s video about her seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee and her interest in peace deals. In that video coverage, Luna said she wants constituents to understand that when she talks about those issues in Washington, “I am controlled by no one; I’m influenced by no one, that I’m 100% fighting for them.”

Kacee Allen, host of The Kacee Allen Show, quote-tweeted Luna’s announcement the same evening. The post is at https://x.com/KaceeRAllen/status/2118513113989316658. Allen wrote: “So Anna Paulina just flat-out admitted that her foreign policy positions were undermined by “special interest money,” aka AIPAC.” He continued: “And after nearly losing her reelection last night, she’s all of a sudden deciding not to be controlled by foreign money anymore.” He closed: “People like her realize the grift is up.”

Allen’s reference to AIPAC is his interpretation. Luna’s written announcement does not name AIPAC or say that donors dictated her positions.

Context from the Kacee Allen Network News Desk

Original context: Luna’s written pledge covers corporate PAC money and special-interest money tied to foreign policy. It is not a blanket statement that she will refuse every form of foreign PAC money under every label. The figures in the Nov. 5 report placed the two leading candidates less than one percentage point apart. Readers can weigh the primary X post, Bay News 9’s race-call reporting, The Floridian’s coverage of the video remarks, and Allen’s public reaction side by side.
