Florida's treasury and Florida families pay for tax cuts that tilt to the top: the Congressional Budget Office's distribution of the law Anna Paulina Luna voted for gives the top tenth about $13,600 a year and leaves the lowest-income households roughly $1,200 poorer, and her May 22, 2025 yea was decisive on the House draft's 215-214 vote.
Rep. Luna's decisive April 2025 yea cleared space for $4.5 trillion in tax changes paid for with borrowing, and the final law she voted for hands Florida's own budget an extra $50 million in SNAP administration and a benefit cost share, starting in fiscal 2028, that CBPP estimates could run near $900 million in fiscal 2028.
Anna Paulina Luna's Votes on the Tax Law and the Deficit
- Twice Luna Voted Yea on H.R. 1, Whose Final Version Gives the Highest-Income Tenth $13,600 a Year While the Lowest Lose $1,200. Roll call 145 on May 22, 2025 passed the House draft of H.R. 1 by a single vote, 215 to 214, and Anna Paulina Luna's yea was among them; on roll call 190, July 3, 2025, she voted yea again and the final bill passed 218 to 214. Reporting the Congressional Budget Office's distributional estimate, Thomson Reuters Checkpoint wrote that "the top decile will receive a windfall of $13,600 every year," while the lowest-income households lose an average of $1,200 in resources a year, largely because of the Medicaid and SNAP cuts.
- Luna's Decisive April 2025 Yea Authorized Up to $4.5 Trillion in Deficit-Financed Tax Cuts. Anna Paulina Luna voted yea on April 10, 2025 when the House concurred, 216 to 214, in the final H.Con.Res. 14; as a nay she would have produced a 215-215 tie, and a tie fails. That blueprint allowed tax changes that "increase the deficit by not more than $4,500,000,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034". Her July 3, 2025 yea went to the costlier Senate version: Yale's Budget Lab calculates it costs more over 2025 to 2034 than the House draft, and CRFB, relaying the budget office's dynamic analysis, says the law would "boost interest rates and thus increase interest costs by $405 billion."
- Luna Voted in April 2026 for a Resolution Touting Tax Cuts for the Bottom 40 Percent That Leaves Out the Medicaid and SNAP Cuts. Anna Paulina Luna was a yea on April 16, 2026 for H.Res. 1156, adopted 219 to 207. It brands the law the "Working Families Tax Cuts" and asserts it "will result in a 15 percent tax cut for Americans whose income is in the bottom 40 percent," a number that counts tax changes and nothing else. ITEP's 2026 analysis says otherwise for those at the very bottom: "For the poorest fifth of Americans, the average tax change from OBBBA is a small tax increase," and the top 1 percent average a cut above $70,000 this year.
What Anna Paulina Luna's Tax and Budget Votes Cost Florida's Budget and Florida Households
- Florida's budget owes $50 million more to run SNAP and could owe about $900 million toward benefits in fiscal 2028. Tallahassee's added SNAP costs come in two steps. The bigger state share of administration, in effect since October 1, 2026, requires another $50 million, the DeSantis administration acknowledged; the benefit cost share begins in fiscal 2028, and at Florida's 2025 error rate CBPP estimates the state could owe about $900 million that year.
- $13.6 billion less federal Medicaid money for Florida helps finance the tax cuts. KFF's state split of the federal estimate removes $13.574 billion in federal Medicaid dollars from Florida across ten years, and the law leaves 590,000 more Floridians uninsured in 2034, KFF projects, so hospitals and families carry more unpaid care.
- The average Florida household's energy bill could rise about $430 a year by 2035. Per Energy Innovation's estimate, carried by CNBC, the law's energy changes could raise the average Florida household's energy spending by about $430 a year by 2035, whether or not that household got a tax cut.
