I just won my election in FL-13 by a wide margin
They said I didn’t have a chance because I lacked ‘experience’
But the people were with me all the way
This November I will defeat @CharlieCrist & then I’ll help @realDonaldTrump DRAIN THE SWAMP
Trump later Tuesday night tweeted his congratulations to Luna.
Great WIN Anna! Watched your race from beginning, very impressed. Your next opponent, Charlie Crist, is a Pelosi puppet who is bad on Crime, our Military, Vets, & 2nd Amendment. You have my Complete & Total Endorsement! https://t.co/PLdW3VXNTI
