Graded F: Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-13)
She authored legislation to eliminate it.
Asbed introduces Florida Republican Anna Paulina Luna of the 13th District, and Hamparian explains that she authored legislation this past cycle targeting a provision the Armenian American community works to protect. That record places her among the failing grades on ANCA’s 2026 report cards.
ANCA’s grades weigh concrete actions, and sponsoring legislation that works against community priorities carries significant weight. Unlike a single unfavorable vote, authoring a bill signals a sustained position. Hamparian’s explanation gives listeners the specific reason behind Luna’s grade, which is exactly the kind of detail the report cards are built to surface.
For the Armenian diaspora, naming the legislation and its author turns an abstract grade into a clear accountability story. It helps voters in Florida and beyond understand what their representatives have done, not just how they rank. As the review continues across states, cases like Luna’s show how ANCA connects individual legislative moves to the broader fight over recognition, aid, and human rights concerns tied to Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh).
