âť“WHAT HAPPENED: Representative Anna Paulina Luna is pushing for the passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, threatening to shut down the House floor if the Senate does not take action.
👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats, and other House and Senate members.
đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: The House passed the SAVE Act in April 2025; Luna issued her statement on January 23, 2026, via X (formerly Twitter).
💬KEY QUOTE: “If the Senate does not pass the SAVE Act and/or schedule a date for a vote by the time we return, I have enough votes from other members to shut down the floor of the House.” – Rep. Anna Paulina Luna
🎯IMPACT: The SAVE Act faces significant opposition from Democrats and uncertainty among Senate Republicans, making its passage uncertain.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is ramping up pressure on the Senate GOP to act on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, warning she is prepared to disrupt House business if the Senate continues to stall the bill. The legislation, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, passed the House in April 2025, but it has yet to advance in the Senate.
Luna, a close ally of President Donald J. Trump, said she is prepared to shut down activity on the House floor if the Senate does not pass the bill or at least schedule a vote by the time lawmakers return in February. “If the Senate does not pass the SAVE Act and/or schedule a date for a vote by the time we return, I have enough votes from other members to shut down the floor of the House,” Luna wrote on X. She added, “We are not going to play games—especially given that half of the Republicans in both the House and Senate are concerned about their reelection and want the floor open for their messaging bills.”
The SAVE Act, which President Donald J. Trump has publicly endorsed, is intended to bolster election integrity by requiring proof of U.S. citizenship and directing states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls. Republicans have largely supported the bill, while Democrats have criticized it as a “voter suppression” measure. Four House Democrats voted in favor of the legislation when it cleared the chamber.
The bill faces long odds in the Senate, where it would need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. At present, it has 35 Republican cosponsors, including three members of Senate Republican leadership. However, several influential Senate Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, have not signed on.
Luna, who represents Florida’s 13th District, has drawn national attention beyond election policy. As head of the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, she has publicly suggested possible intelligence connections involving deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, stating that “In my opinion, there is definitely an intelligence connection.”
She has also intervened in international politics, including publicly supporting German anti-mass migration activist Naomi Seibt’s bid for asylum in the United States, citing Antifa threats and government censorship in Germany.
