Florida Rep. Luna says she's considering running for RNC chairwoman

Florida GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said Tuesday that she is considering running for chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.

“I’ll be honest with you — I am considering, after Joe Gruters is done, maybe putting my hat in for the chair of the RNC,” Luna said in an exclusive interview with the Politico news outlet.

She said she has a “bone to pick” with the RNC.

Luna has been one of the few members of Congress critical of how the institution is run, specifically regarding the Office of Congressional Ethics.

In February, Luna said that the office was a “joke” that had so much dirt on members of Congress and does nothing with it until elections come around.

She told Politico that the GOP is held captive by special interests.

“I think that it’s a shame that the Republican Party as a whole has leadership that is really shilling for corporations instead of worrying about the American people,” Luna stated. “I think that needs to change at a national level.”

Over the weekend, Luna said on X the some people have asked her to be Speaker of the House.

“I am completely honored that so many people are asking me, floated me, or have said that I would be a great Speaker of the House,” she wrote on X. “Truly, it is wonderful and I am flattered to have that type of support and trust. However, I do not know where the rumor started that I was considering a run, as I have never spoken to any member about it or considered even running for Speaker.”
