Anna Paulina Luna

GOP incumbent U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who defeated Democrat Whitney Fox, said her first priority for her next term would be securing the southern U.S. border.

One poll shows first-time District 13 incumbent Republican Anna Paulina Luna is in a dead heat with Pinellas challenger Whitney Fox.

The redrawing of the district made it more favorable for Republicans. Luna lost the seat to Crist in 2020, when the district favored Democrats.

Crist stepped down from his 13th District seat effective the end of the day Wednesday. He is looking to unseat Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Several incumbents won easily, including Republicans Vern Buchanan and Gus Bilirakis.
