Representative Anna Paulina Luna is preparing for a third campaign for Congress from a position of strength. The Florida Republican enters the 2026 midterm election with a Republican-leaning district and a sizable financial advantage. According to Florida Politics, Luna ended June with more than $1.45 million in cash on hand after raising nearly $690,000 during the second quarter. Democrats will first choose their nominee in an Aug. 18 primary, where retired Army Brig. Gen. Leela Gray is considered the leading candidate ahead of John Liccione and Brandt Robinson. Gray reported about $750,000 in cash on hand at the end of the quarter.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. Luna has benefited from a district that has become more favorable to Republicans. After Florida’s congressional map was redrawn in 2022 under Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida’s 13th Congressional District shifted to the right, helping Luna win the open seat that year. “This district has been very badly gerrymandered,” said Rob Siberski, a retired government security professional who lives in Florida’s 13th Congressional District. Even so, he believes the seat could flip. “I think many independents have had enough of Anna Paulina Luna.” Gray’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment on her position regarding US support for Ukraine. Siberski, who has spoken with Gray, said his impression was that she “strongly supports Ukraine and believes there’s an urgent need to continue supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.”
