Deep Dive

Luna represents Florida's 13th District, Pinellas County's Gulf coast, and she is the sitting member.

Her line runs between standalone support and combined packages. Asked in February 2024 whether she would back the Senate's $95.3 billion package combining Ukraine funding with $14.1 billion for the government of Israel, she told Forbes "absolutely not", proposing an alternative she called the "SCHUMER Act", which she said would force members who back additional Ukraine funding to be "the first ones fighting on the front lines". When the House split the aid into separate bills that April and some members waved Ukrainian flags during the Ukraine vote, she told them to "put those damn flags away". Her recorded votes on the Israel bills themselves appear as badges on this card.

Her pressure on the anti-war side of the protest world is part of the record: in June 2025 she called on the Speaker to bar CODEPINK from the Capitol complex, alleging foreign funding behind its disruptions, joined an oversight inquiry into money flowing to groups protesting U.S. foreign policy, and in June 2026 reported one of the group's organizers to Capitol Police after a hearing-room confrontation.

Nothing located has her addressing U.S. humanitarian aid for Palestinians at any date; her October 2023 bill to freeze U.S. funding for the United Nations Human Rights Council sits in the weeks this site keeps off cards and is on the research page.

How this mark works

We track key votes on sending U.S. weapons and money to the government of Israel. A check means every tracked vote they cast came down against sending more, on the side of peace and de-escalation. A question mark means a mixed record: they sided with sending up to half of the time. An X means they voted to send more weapons and money in over half of their tracked votes, even as the way those weapons and dollars were being used became more and more obvious. At exactly half, money this election cycle from a lobbying group we track, or an endorsement from a group that backs sending weapons, makes it an X. Only votes actually cast are counted. Where a candidate has no recorded votes on these bills, the mark comes instead from a reviewed reading of their public record (money from the lobbying groups we track, endorsements, and their own words since January 26, 2024). There an X also covers fully backing the conduct of the war by the government of Israel without significant reservations, and a question mark also covers speaking about Israel without saying clearly where they stand on U.S. weapons and funding. A dash means No Position Found: we found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.

See a dash? Ask the candidate where they stand, then send us their answer and we'll review it and update the mark. Or volunteer to help review candidates.

Voted to send weapons or funding in more than half of their recorded tracked votes. (Supported sending weapons or funding in 5 of 5 tracked votes.)

Research log

The notes behind this card: what we looked at, what we found, and where each item came from.

U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel

  • Her recorded votes on the tracked bills appear as badges on this card: for the standalone bills, one absence, and against both cutting amendments. The grounding for each sits in the record section.
  • [Position, 2024-02-14] Forbes Newsroom interview: "absolutely not" on the combined $95.3 billion package, with her "SCHUMER Act" alternative aimed at members backing Ukraine funding. The address our search gave for this page was dead; the true page was found by search and read on 2026-08-21, and every quoted span was checked against it there.
  • [Position, 2024-04-20] Defense News on the April 2024 votes: her "put those damn flags away" line during the Ukrainian-flag waving (the page carries no exclamation mark and neither does the card). Also carried by ANI's wire copy.
  • [Position, 2026-08-18, unopenable carrier] An August 2026 amendment requiring annual reporting on foreign defense partnership programs is reported via a third-party post about the Block the Bombs Act, which does not open and is another organization's page. Offered-and-unsupported as to her amendment's text; nothing claimed.

U.S. aid to Palestinians

  • Nothing located at any date.

Characterization of the conflict

  • [Reaction window, 2023-10-31] Her office characterized the October 7 attack as "one of the deadliest attacks against the Jewish people" and condemned Hamas's "utter disregard for human life and the terror they are inflicting on Israelis and the innocent Palestinians they use as human shields", per her release. Not on the card summary.
  • [Position, 2026-03-01] She defended joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran in a CNN interview, saying counter-actions against the Iranian regime would "benefit the whole region"; the carriers offered are YouTube pages that were not watched. Iran material stays out of the card summary in any case.
  • [Position, 2026-06-15, unopenable carrier] Her posts on Iran-related peace negotiations, including "America DOES expect Israel to be good partners in Iran peace negotiations", sit on her own account, which answers 400. Iran material, not on the card summary regardless.

Related rhetoric and lobbying

  • [Reaction window, 2023-10-31] She introduced the Stand with Israel Act to freeze U.S. funding for the United Nations Human Rights Council until it condemns Hamas, per her own release, which also carries her statement that the council has a "long history of anti-Semitism and disproportionately targeting Israel" (also reported in Fox News's live coverage). Introduced inside the reaction window, so not on the card summary; listed here. This is her clearest U.S.-money-through-the-UN position and C1 keeps it to this page.
  • [Position, 2025-06-10] Her call to bar CODEPINK from the Capitol, alleging foreign funding, as republished with her statement by the group itself, an adversary organization's page carrying her statement text, read with that in mind. [Position, 2025-06-13] The oversight inquiry letter into funding of foreign-policy protest groups, a PDF on the committee's site. [Position, 2026-06-03] The Capitol Police complaint after a hearing confrontation, per Florida Politics.
  • Tracked funding totals appear as a badge on this card.

Safety and antisemitism (context)

  • [Position, 2024-05-01] She joined House Oversight Republicans visiting the George Washington University encampment, called for it to be cleared and said Jewish students felt unsafe, per The GW Hatchet and The Hoya.

Race and status context

  • Sitting representative, nominated, in one of this cycle's priority districts. Her Democratic and independent opponents' cards carry their own records.
