Anna Paulina Luna was born Anna Paulina Mayerhofer on May 6, 1989, in Santa Ana, California, to George Mayerhofer and Monica Todd. Her father had Mexican and German ancestry, and her mother has Mexican-American ancestry.
She was raised in the Orange County cities of Santa Ana, Irvine and Aliso Viejo, as well as Los Angeles, where she attended high school.

In 2017 she earned a Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of West Florida.
Luna became director of Hispanic engagement for Turning Point USA in 2018. Her first campaign came in 2020, when she won the Republican primary for Florida's 13th congressional district and lost the general election to Democratic incumbent Charlie Crist. In 2022 she won the seat, defeating Democrat Eric Lynn, and became the first Mexican-American woman elected to Congress from Florida. She was re-elected in 2024 over Democrat Whitney Fox.
In the House, Luna worked in March 2025 with Democrats and some Republicans on a discharge petition to force a vote on a bill allowing new parents to vote by proxy, and she later resigned from the Freedom Caucus, of which she had been a member since 2023.
In the 119th Congress she serves on the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and she has chaired the El Salvador Caucus since 2024. In June 2026 she held a hearing on the CIA's MKULTRA program.
