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.

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.

How about those Rays?! The World Series is coming to St. Pete, and I couldn't be more excited! Thank you to everyone who is working to keep our community and visitors safe! Let's show the world what Tampa Bay is all about!

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: Anna Paulina Luna 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.

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.

🚨NEW: Polling still shows us ahead of Anna Paulina Luna!🚨 Tampa Bay voters are fed up with Luna’s extremism and corruption, and this race is going to come down to every single vote.

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-our-promise-agenda

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.

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.

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.

We must improve VA healthcare, expand mental health services and job opportunities, cut red tape and support military families. Here is my plan to tackle the needs of veterans and military families across FL-13.

Early voting starts TODAY! Our communities deserve leaders who put service over self, lower costs for working families, fight corruption, and put people ahead of politics. Now is the time to make your voice heard and shape the future of our community. Make a plan, bring a neighbor, and VOTE!

Veterans in this district deserve a representative who fights for them, instead of one who stays silent while their care and benefits are put at risk. Service to this country does not end when the uniform comes off, and neither should our commitment to those who served.

Rain or shine, democracy needs your vote! The crowd at today’s #NoKings event here in Clearwater was fired up to vote early, by mail, or on Election Day. Always energizing to spend time with engaged neighbors in FL-13.

These leaders know what it means to show up, listen to their neighbors, and put their communities first. Their stewardship of people across FL-13 is a constant demonstration of service over self. Their support is an honor and is exactly how we bring selfless leadership to our community.

Happy (belated) 251st Birthday to the United States Navy! As the proud wife of a former navy officer, I know that behind our sailors are families who serve and sacrifice alongside them.

To the sailors spending time away from loved ones, the families holding down the home front, and the veterans who have served our country — thank you. Fair winds and following seas!

Hardworking Floridians across FL-13 keep our communities running, and they are fed up with being overlooked by Anna Paulina Luna. With the support of this coalition of working people, we are going to win in November and bring accountability back to Pinellas and Pasco Counties.

Leadership starts with listening, and public service should always be about putting people first. Service over self, always. Great to spend time with engaged neighbors at On Top of the World for a thoughtful conversation and Q&A.

Hegseth is decimating our military readiness and demonstrating increasingly unhinged, unprecedented behavior at the Department of Defense. This much is clear: he is willfully unqualified to be anything other than a talking head on TV.

Laura Hine has spent her life serving our country and our community and has a long record of nonpartisan leadership. Our shared belief that putting people before politics unites us both in this work. I am honored to have her support in this fight.

Republicans, Democrats & independents are coming together behind this campaign because Floridians are exhausted by extremism on both sides. Service over self is not a partisan message. It is the standard every representative should be held to & one that Anna Paulina Luna is certainly not meeting.

The people of Pinellas & Pasco Counties deserve a representative who shows up, puts their needs first, and does the hard work. Anna Paulina Luna has spent her time in Washington chasing headlines and serving her own agenda.

As Hurricane Isaias quickly approaches the Florida Panhandle, there is an increased chance of flooding and heavy rain here in Pinellas and Pasco Counties. Make sure you are prepared for the storm and following any important updates at pinellas.gov/alert-pinellas/ & weather.gov/tbw!

Two years ago, Hurricane Milton struck our community while families across the Gulf Coast were still reeling from Hurricane Helene. My husband and I were living on Treasure Island at the time, and we watched the storm surge rush in and recede, leaving destruction in its wake.

We owe it to Florida families to strengthen our infrastructure, prepare our communities for the storms ahead, and make sure people have the resources and support they need before, during, and long after disaster strikes.

We endured Helene and Milton together. We will never forget what our families went through, and we must never stop working to make our communities safer, stronger, and more resilient.

Two years ago, Hurricane Milton struck our community while families across the Gulf Coast were still reeling from Hurricane Helene. My husband and I were living on Treasure Island at the time, and we watched the storm surge rush in and recede, leaving destruction in its wake.

For many families, Milton came before they had even begun to recover from Helene. Homes were already damaged, infrastructure was already strained, and many were still displaced. The toll on our communities was extraordinary.

🚨🚨Today marks one month since I challenged Anna Paulina Luna to a debate. Our neighbors in FL-13 deserve an explanation for why you keep voting to extend the Iran war and supporting the tariff taxes. Whatever happened to America first, Anna?

We are building a grassroots campaign of neighbors, veterans, small business owners, seniors, and working families across FL-13 who are ready for change and accountable leadership in Washington. Floridians are not looking for a politician; they are looking for a leader who puts service over self.

The members of National Security Leaders for America have devoted their careers to this country, and they are united in defense of our democracy. I am honored to earn their endorsement, and I will bring that same service-over-self leadership to Congress for the families of FL-13.
