Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is still in her second term, but already on the cusp of becoming a national figure. She’s gone one-on-one with Joe Rogan. On live TV, she corrected Bill Maher about her “Cuban” ethnicity (“We’re Mexican. We’re not all the same, Bill.”)
If you could buy stock in a politician’s future, Rep. Luna’s stock value would be soaring. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out why. If Jay Leno’s quip is accurate — and politics is “show business for ugly people” — then Mrs. Luna is preposterously overqualified. Not too many of her colleagues could’ve modeled for Maxim Magazine. (Not even Rosa DeLauro.)
So let’s get her most obvious attribute out of the way: Yes, she’s gorgeous — even when “modeling” something other than swimsuits.
...it’s more than that. And it’s also more than her gender, age, and ethnicity.
Rep. Luna knows how to generate publicity — an invaluable skillset in her profession. It’s helped her build a brand as a brash, bold voice in a crowded field.
[She] is a U.S. Air Force veteran, a former TPUSA director, and boasts a strong, solid conservative voting record. The fact that she quickly gained more social media followers (1.3 million) than any other GOP freshman was icing on the cake. All in all, it’s a near-perfect political bio.
...the MAGAverse is intrigued. We’re always on the lookout for the Next Big Thing — the next great champion of conservatism. Someone who’ll grow the America First movement to even loftier heights. Someone who’ll serve as our flagbearer. Because every now and then, a political party finds that diamond in the rough — like the Democrats did in 2008 with Barack Obama. It’s rare, but it happens. When it does, there’s a generational opportunity to rewrite history.

I hope so I really like her..if she were in charge the SAVE ACT would have already passed
Too cute.
Rosa de lauro.......😵. Kinda threw up a little.....
Count me among the Luna-tics!
Except for when she pushed for proxy voting, an obvious violation of Art. 1, Sec. 5, of the Constitution.
What a mess!
From Wikipedia...
Anna Paulina Mayerhofer was born on May 6, 1989, to George Mayerhofer and Monica Todd, an elementary school teacher and stay-at-home mother, in Santa Ana, California.[3][4][5][6] Luna has said that her father raised her to follow Messianic Judaism, an evangelical movement that incorporates Jewish traditions into Protestant Christianity, and that she is “a small fraction Ashkenazi”.[5][7][8][9] Members of her extended family have denied this claim, saying her father was Catholic, and that “they were not aware of him practicing any form of Judaism while Luna was growing up”.[5] Her mother has said that Luna’s father was a Christian who “embraced the Messianic faith” after getting clean from drug addiction. Her grandfather, Heinrich Mayerhofer, identified as Catholic when he immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1954.[5][10]
Her father had Mexican and German ancestry. Her paternal grandmother was born in Hidalgo, Mexico. Her paternal grandfather was born in Germany and was in the Wehrmacht during World War II.[5] Her mother has Mexican-American ancestry,[5] although a maternal great-grandfather was the son of an American immigrant to Mexico and a native of Colima, Mexico.[11] Her two maternal great-grandfathers served in the United States Armed Forces during World War II.[5]
Luna’s parents never married or lived together;[6] her father had a drug addiction problem,[5] her mother married another man when Luna was nine years old but divorced four years later.[6] Luna was raised in the Orange County cities of Santa Ana, Irvine, and Aliso Viejo, as well as Los Angeles, and has called Santa Monica her hometown.[12] She attended high school in Los Angeles.[3][5]
Luna said that at the age of 10, she found her father’s bag of meth.[3] Her maternal grandmother was a long-time heroin user and was HIV positive.[5][13] By 2020, she (Anna) and her mother (Monica) had chosen the Luna surname as “an homage” to that woman’s maiden name.[5][13]
Luna has said that she “grew up in the welfare system”,[14] raised by her mother on government assistance with “no family to rely on”, and was raised in a “broken home mentality”.[5] Luna has said that both she and her mother lacked “a strong extended network of people” who could help care for them,[5] and that she had attended “over six high schools” before graduating.[3] Luna’s cousin has said, “The whole family kind of raised her—my dad was a part of her life when she was younger and we all kind of coddled her ... She was always a part of everything, all these family gatherings and activities”. Luna’s aunt said, “She had everything. What she needed and more ... And not only did [Luna’s mother] provide for her, but [Luna’s grandfather] did, too.”[5] Luna has disputed these accounts, saying that she “barely spent any time with them in her entire life”. Luna’s mother said that she (Monica) had to rely on welfare for periods of time, especially while she was putting herself through college at the University of California, Irvine, and then at the UCLA School of Law, and that she was the only source of meaningful financial support for the family.[13]
Luna’s campaign website biography says that throughout her childhood and teenage years, her father “spent time in and out of incarceration”, and that she communicated with him “through letters to jail and collect calls”. Luna’s mother and aunt said that he served several short stints in jail for not paying child support. Luna’s mother also said that he spent at least one year in jail for a drug-related charge.[5] Luna’s father was sentenced to Orange County jail on at least five different occasions. He was convicted for crimes including carrying a loaded gun in public, violating probation, and driving with a suspended license. He was charged but not convicted for assault and battery and possession of illegal drugs.[6] The drug possession case indicated that Luna’s father was in custody around the time of two court appearances. The case information did not specify the length of his confinement; the court proceedings lasted about three months.[13]”
She’s very impressive. If she keeps her nose clean until it’s her big time to shine, she will be a force to be reckoned with.
“Rosa de lauro” — but that was a hilarious line! What a contrast. Zero vs. Ten Plus!
It’s always amazing the Zeroes do their best to look awful.
That’s certainly a tough childhood she had. Thanks for posting that. But going to well educated model, director of TPUSA, a MAGA rising star, Congress. You have to hand it to her for that growth and success.
Looks like we have a new rule!
money well spent. thank you TPUSA and Charlie.
It is a mess, indeed, but let’s forget, it’s also Wikipedia. They’re not our friends, and anything they can do to make a conservative look bad is fair game for them.
Mayerhofer? Sounds like she might support Israel a little bit. Sort of person we need for sure.
First woman POTUS 2036 ♀️ 🇺🇲
Wikifusion. Was it ‘ai’ generated?
Wow!
What a mess. Reading this sordid family history reminds me of the dysfunctional family JD Vance was raised in.
Actually, Rosa DeLauro was attractive when she was young. The problem is, she keeps the same hairstyle and clothing she wore waaay back then. Not the best look for an 83 y.o.
