HUGE thank you to @laurenunderwood.bsky.social and our amazing canvassers for showing up strong in Clearwater! We have just 34 days left to win this - and we're going to do it.

Cook Political Report is shifting FL-13 in our direction! The third ratings change this week in our favor. Our campaign’s momentum is undeniable.

I say this as a retired Brigadier General with 30 years of service: Pete Hegseth is an unqualified frat boy.

Anna Paulina Luna’s future employer just moved FL-13 in our favor.

Serving in Congress is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change peoples’ lives for the better. Luna is choosing to squander that opportunity and serve herself over her constituents. As a result, she gets rich and famous. We pay more for gas, groceries, and healthcare.

Today, I am launching my first general election ad against Anna Paulina Luna. I served our country for 30 years, and now I am running for Congress, focused on one mission: making life more affordable.  Residents of our district deserve a representative who puts them first.

In her RNC speech last night, Anna Paulina Luna did not mention the cost of living crisis or her support for the Iran war and tariff taxes. Why? Same reason she is dodging my debate challenge: Luna knows her record is indefensible, unpopular, and hurting the working families of our district.

leelagray.bsky.social @leelagray.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Still no word from Anna Paulina Luna on our debate challenge. Apparently Luna has time to speak at the RNC in Dallas, but cannot be bothered to tell her constituents why she voted to take away their healthcare and make their groceries more expensive.

I am challenging Anna Paulina Luna to a debate before Election Day — open to the public, on local television, right here in our district. I look forward to a substantive discussion on the issues. If Luna is proud of her record, she should have no problem defending it.

On this Labor Day, I stand with the workers who built this country and keep it running every single day. We need leaders in Washington who put workers above donors and protect the dignity of work. Happy Labor Day!

Our country was founded on the principle that the people, not our leaders, get the final say. This administration’s illegal attacks on the vote by mail process are undermining that principle. The courts must put a stop to it.

Americans are rightfully angry. Washington politicians are too busy lining their own pockets to tackle the growing cost of living crisis. Signing the Promise to America is a commitment to being part of the solution — rooting out corruption and delivering a growing economy that rewards hard work.

The Florida heat cannot slow us down! ☀️ We had a great morning knocking doors in Pasco County, speaking with voters who are fired up and ready to change the direction of our country. Only 66 days until Election Day and we are going to make every one count!

Anna Paulina Luna invested up to $500,000 in one of her top donor's oil companies. We must ban Members of Congress from investing in their donors' companies. Our country would be better off if we held politicians to the same standard as our servicemembers. amp.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

The donor, Bruce Rosenthal, has given more than $40,000 to political groups supporting Luna.

The veteran community in Pinellas County is fired up for November! Thank you to everyone who came out to our event with @votevets.org last night. It was inspiring to speak with so many veterans who are passionate about changing our country for the better, still putting service over self.

Today, I announce my Anti-Corruption Agenda. To solve this cost of living crisis, and restore trust in our leadership, we need to start by rooting out corruption in every branch of government.

Florida families are worse off today than when Anna Paulina Luna got to Congress. Luna is more focused on herself than serving her district. I spent 30 years in the Army putting service over self. I’ll bring that experience to Congress to tackle the cost of living crisis and root out corruption.

Our campaign was just added to the DCCC’s Red to Blue program. That means this race is officially one of the best opportunities in the country to flip a seat and help Democrats take back the House. If you want to defeat Anna Paulina Luna, chip in here: secure.actblue.com/donate/socialglg

Anna Paulina Luna is an absent Congresswoman. Our neighbors in Pinellas and Pasco Counties are being crushed by the cost of living crisis, and Luna is doing nothing to help because she is more focused on herself than Floridians. LeelaGray.com

It’s official: I am going to be the Democrat to take on Anna Paulina Luna this fall in FL-13. Thank you to every volunteer who knocked doors, made phone calls, and devoted their energy to this campaign. We’ve got a lot more work to do before November. Join the team at LeelaGray.com 🇺🇸

Luna's words are offensive to survivors of abuse everywhere - and she should immediately apologize to Rep. Miller's wife and family, and return the money she has raised from this alleged violent criminal. x.com/Sollenberger...

No family should be forced to make the impossible choice between paying for gas, keeping the lights on, or putting food on the table for their children. Yet this is the current reality for far too many people. This is unacceptable. (1/2)
