Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, a notable supporter of Israel in the U.S. House of Representatives, announced she will cease accepting donations from corporations and foreign policy interest groups. This decision follows her narrow victory in the recent midterm elections. Luna, who received approximately $38,000 from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's political action committee during her last campaign, stated her intention is for her constituents to know that no one influences her positions in Washington. "I am not controlled by anyone and am not influenced by anyone," she declared. Her move comes amid growing bipartisan criticism regarding the influence of pro-Israel donors on American politics, and in the context of successful campaigns by Democratic candidates who opposed military aid to Israel.
