Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna resigned from the House Freedom Caucus after the group moved to block a vote on her proposal to allow new parents to vote by proxy.
In her resignation letter, Luna expressed frustration with a small faction within the caucus that opposed her family-centered initiative. She criticized the group for betraying the caucus’s core values, accusing them of backroom deals and undermining the pro-family proposal.
Luna highlighted the hypocrisy of some members who opposed her measure while using proxy voting themselves. Despite her resignation, she emphasized that filing discharge petitions is a valid tool to represent constituents and drive change.
Luna concluded by condemning those who resort to corruption and manipulative tactics within the institution.
