She also mentioned that Florida&#8217;s 13th Congressional District has historically not been favorable for Democrats but criticized what she described as irresponsible rhetoric aimed at misleading constituents about its competitiveness. Additionally, Luna claimed to have received antisemitic and sexually harassing text messages from someone who falsely identified themselves as working for Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), who was allegedly trying to assist her against Fox. After responding that she wasn&#8217;t concerned about Fox, the individual made inappropriate comments about her body while questioning her Jewish identity based on texts shared with the Washington Examiner by Luna&#8217;s campaign. The campaign noted that the number was unregistered; they also reported these messages to the FBI. The Washington Examiner reached out for comments from both Abbott\u2019s office regarding these allegations but did not receive a response before publication time; they are also awaiting information from local authorities regarding Luna\u2019s complaints.
