“Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has blazed an unlikely trail to Capitol Hill. A decade ago, she appeared as a Maxim model driving a cherry-red Chevy Nova SS. Now, at 35, she’s not only the youngest Republican in the House and the first Mexican-American representative from Florida, but she’s back in Maxim, proving that power and glamour are not mutually exclusive,” Maxim wrote.

“I am excited to announce I have been given the November and December cover of @MaximMag! This is a special issue titled the American Dream! I am honored to share my story and talk politics with so many young people around the country,” Luna said.

“The magazine is now available in newsstands across the nation! Read my exclusive interview at maxim.com ! The issue is also covering President Trump!” she added.

Here’s a snippet from Luna’s interview with Maxim:

What has surprised you most about the world of politics?

How quickly things leak to the press! I remember when I first got elected, we were in a closed-door session to talk about the election of the next Speaker of the House, and no press was allowed. After the meeting, I headed back to my office, and before I could even let my chief of staff know what had happened, he asked me about a conversation in the meeting. I later found out that someone was leaking information to the press. News travels at lightning speed in Washington, and the press is everywhere.

There’s so much bias and propaganda masquerading as news. What do you think has led us to this?

It seemed like during the Obama years, the media began to be openly involved in propaganda. This largely increased when Donald Trump decided to run for president in 2015. The mask of the legacy media was removed and exposed for what it really was. Then, social media started to push out legacy media. With censorship isolating viewpoints and preventing dialogue, I believe this led to polarization. I know certain platforms were censoring because I investigated them and saw clear evidence as a congressional investigator on House Oversight. However, being a public figure and elected official makes it hard to combat slander and defamation as we don’t have the same protections as a private citizen would.

Donald Trump is the most successful political entrepreneur of our generation. What are some things you’ve learned from him?

I’ve known President Trump for four years. There are four things I’ve learned from him: First, always do what you think is right for the people you serve, even if it means going against the grain and sometimes your own party. The Washington, D.C. elite is real, and when it comes to fixing a broken system, being an outsider is not a bad thing.

Second, the best deal comes at the eleventh hour. I’ve learned a lot from listening to him talk about interactions with foreign leaders and dealing with brokering trade deals. Honestly, he’s made me a better negotiator.

Next, stay focused. Don’t drink. Don’t smoke. Have a clear head.

Finally, don’t forget the personal touch. Behind closed doors, he’s the most hospitable and caring person I’ve ever met. His family adores him, and so does his staff. He has personal friendships with many members of Congress and the Senate and does little things to stay in touch, such as writing letters and making calls.

“Ps this was shot months ago after Dems tried to cancel me for being featured on Sports Illustrated and Maxim. The fact is women can be smart, independent, successful, and Republican. Stop trying to bully us into voting a certain way,” Luna wrote.

“Florida Congresswoman Luna on the cover of Maxim is just more proof that MAGA conservatives are the new culture-makers Nobody cares about Hollywood actors anymore They care about America’s freedom fighters,” DC Draino commented.

Per Florida’s Voice:

Back in August, Luna fired back at online critics after a video of her in a swimsuit went viral.

“They’re attacking me for wearing a swimsuit while they try to erase motherhood and put men in women’s sports! Unlike Kamala Harris, I’m standing up for what’s right, and I’ll keep fighting for women in this country. Kudos to the Supreme Court for protecting women’s sports!” Luna said.
