You can not fix something if you are not listening. In FL-13, our neighbors are tired of politicians like @VoteAPL who are absent and self-interested. In Congress, we are going to end corruption and cut costs — because that’s what our neighbors need.

Luna thinks the tariffs are “genius.” When residents of FL-13 go to the grocery store, they should remember that groceries are up 15% because of the tariff taxes Anna Paulina Luna voted for eight times. Tariffs are wreaking havoc on working families. Congress must reassert its authority and immediately end the administration’s illegal tariff taxes.

Think of all of the healthcare workers, parents, teachers, and first responders who are working hard and experiencing high costs because of this ongoing war with Iran. We have to put an end to it immediately, because the consequences are felt right here by our Pinellas and Pasco families and small businesses.

Have you seen these gas prices? Today marks 8 months of the war in Iran that Luna has voted six separate times to continue. Meanwhile, my neighbors are paying record-high prices for everything from gas to groceries, thanks to Luna’s rubber stamping this reckless war of choice.

In February, we were told this war would last “four to six weeks.” Eight months later, at least 22 service members are dead, 800+ more are injured, and the cost of living crisis at home is out of control. Despite the obvious and disastrous consequences of the war, Luna voted to continue it six times.

On this National First Responders Day, we celebrate those who lead with courage everyday. Across our communities, First Responders are the first on the scene to care for neighbors in need. Often at great risk to themselves. Today, and everyday, thank you for your service!

After 30 years of service, I am still committed to fighting for our country. In Congress, I am going to root out rampant corruption, tackle the affordability crisis, and deliver for our veterans. That is what it means to put service over self.

Washington politicians like Luna take advantage of the fact they get to write their own rules on corruption. Now, we are learning Luna may have been voting in Congress to turn legislative funding into cold hard cash. This type of shameless self-dealing should be illegal. Under my Anti-Corruption Agenda, it will be.

Because of Anna Paulina Luna, up to 60,000 people in Pinellas and Pasco county are at risk of losing their healthcare. Why? Because she would rather give her corporate donors a tax break than see you have affordable health care.

🚨This just in: @realannapaulina profited from a program that she voted to fund.🚨 This is yet another example of her unchecked corruption and self-enrichment and is an unconscionable violation of public trust. Enough is enough. Anna Paulina Luna needs to release all the information about her involvement with this company, a full accounting of her actions, and how much she stands to profit from these contracts immediately.

Our campaign’s momentum is undeniable. People in FL-13 are done with self-serving politicians who drive up costs and support foreign wars. National watchers are simply seeing what local voices have been saying for months: Pinellas and Pasco counties are ready to send a proven leader, who puts service over self, to Washington to tackle the cost of living crisis and root out rampant corruption.

It is crucial that we take action to address the needs of our veterans, immediately. My “Keeping Our Promise” Agenda for Veterans and Military Families would do exactly that. Read more at leelagray.com/issues/keeping…
To lead, you have to listen. Yesterday, at the Largo VFW, veterans and retired military leaders shared what their service has meant to them and their families. Our veterans have spent their lives serving our country. In Congress, I'll make sure the voices of veterans and military families across FL-13, help shape the decisions that impact their lives.

During this Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we recognize National Breast Cancer Reconstruction Awareness Day. Breast cancer touches millions of people every year. Survivors deserve accessible information, compassionate care, and the freedom to make decisions about their own body. Today and everyday, we recognize those navigating life after breast cancer and the importance of ensuring every patient understands their options, whether they choose reconstruction or not.

Floridians deserve better than leaders who cater to billionaire backers and leave their constituents to pay the price. It was great to be with @LeelaJGray and @DarrenSoto, two leaders who will help us take back the House in November.
