| Today, the DCCC announced that Leela Gray has been added to the committee’s highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Leela, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as she runs for Florida’s 13th Congressional District.
“Anna Paulina Luna went to Washington to serve herself and her wealthy friends, and has broken the promises she made to the people she represents. Leela Gray spent 30 years serving our country in uniform, and she’ll bring that same service-over-self leadership to Congress to crack down on corruption, lower costs, protect health care, and deliver for veterans and working families across Pinellas and Pasco counties. Leela has what it takes to defeat Luna and flip this seat,” said DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene.
Retired Army Brigadier General Leela Gray has dedicated her life to serving her country and is running for Congress to bring that same commitment to Florida families. A third-generation veteran, Leela served 30 years in uniform, including two combat deployments and a peacekeeping mission, before earning her law degree to help fellow veterans access the benefits they earned. A mother, attorney, and longtime Tampa Bay resident, Leela has always put service over self. She offers a stark contrast to Anna Paulina Luna, who came to Washington chasing fame, and has spent her time enriching herself off political connections, trying to sabotage bipartisan relief for struggling families, and breaking faith with the nearly 60,000 veterans in her district. Leela is ready to defeat Luna and give Pinellas County and Pasco County a representative who shows up, delivers, and puts people over politics.
Polling shows Leela in a statistical tie with Luna, garnering support from independent voters in a district home to nearly 60,000 veterans.
