Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Weighs Run for RNC Chair After Gruters' Term

She frames the possible bid as a challenge to party leaders she says cater to corporations.

Overview

  • Luna, in a Tuesday Politico interview, said she is considering a campaign for Republican National Committee chair once Joe Gruters finishes his term.
  • She criticized current party leadership as favoring corporate interests over the American people and said the focus needs to change at the national level.
  • Gruters was elected last year and serves until the next presidential convention adjourns, which could delay any leadership race if he seeks another term.
  • She recently dismissed talk of a House speaker bid, writing on X that she has never discussed or considered running for the gavel.
  • Luna, a high-profile Trump ally since entering Congress in 2023, has pushed measures on banning stock trading by lawmakers, proxy voting for new parents, and a credit card interest cap with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
