Anna Paulina Luna has spent the last year telling Floridians she wants to stop members of Congress from cashing in on their jobs. Her own financial disclosure tells a different story.
On her 2025 report, filed May 15, 2026, Luna lists her husband's salary from a defense technology company called OKSI. On the same form she lists her husband's "Nokturnal AI, 10% Interest" — described as a "2025 Startup company; subsidiary of OKSI," based in Torrance, California.
This week, Mother Jones went through the federal contract records. It found that the company her husband owns a piece of has pulled in about $37 million in Pentagon deals in 2026 — much of it from drone programs that Luna herself voted to pay for.
Luna did not respond to Mother Jones's questions about her husband's stake or how much it has enriched the family.
What the company got
Nokturnal AI used to be called OKSI Ventures. It changed its legal name in June 2026, according to Florida's corporate records. Under the old name, Mother Jones found, it won:
- $46,222 from the Air Force on January 23, 2026, for a small drone system.
- More than $9.2 million, paid between February and March 2026 to a consortium that connects tech companies with the military, for a contract that listed OKSI Ventures as its "primary" vendor and no other.
- $28 million on July 9, 2026, through a Pentagon program called APFIT, for follow-on production of a one-way attack drone called "Unruly."
The company also competed in "the Gauntlet," a contest in the Pentagon's drone dominance push, which grew out of Trump's June 2025 executive order on drones. Mother Jones reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described that push as paid for by Trump's budget bill.
Luna's disclosure calls it a "2025 Startup company"; Florida's records show the corporation was registered in May 2024. Either way, its first government contract came in January 2026, and by July it had tens of millions of dollars in military money.
Luna voted for the money
This isn't a case of a spouse's company getting lucky with programs Luna had nothing to do with. Mother Jones lays out two votes:
- In July 2025, Luna was one of 218 House Republicans who voted for Trump's budget bill — the bill Hegseth credits for the drone push.
- That same month, she voted for the House's 2026 military spending bill, which put $400 million into APFIT — the program that later handed her husband's company $28 million.
No one has shown that Luna steered a contract to the company. Kedric Payne of the Campaign Legal Center told Mother Jones the question is "whether Rep. Luna is using her official position to benefit her husband's financial interest," and that proving a violation would take evidence of a specific action she took for the company. But voters don't need a crime to see the problem: a member of Congress voted to fund programs, and her household now owns a stake in a company those programs are paying.
"No more than $1,000"
Here's the part that should bother everyone. On her disclosure, Luna valued her husband's 10% of Nokturnal AI at $1 to $1,000 at the end of 2025.
That number was filed before most of the money came in. The company is private, so there is no stock price to check. The public won't learn what a 10% slice of a company with $37 million in Pentagon deals is worth until Luna files her next report — after the November election.
She pushed the ban. Her household fits the reason for it.
In 2025, Luna filed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Restore Trust in Congress Act, a bill that would have banned members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children from owning or trading stock. "Americans deserve a Congress that works for them, not for special interests or personal portfolios," she said.
A ban on owning stock in public companies would not have covered a private startup like Nokturnal AI. But the reason Luna gave for the ban — a Congress that works for the public, "not for special interests or personal portfolios" — describes the problem in her own household. And few things are decided more directly by Congress than Pentagon spending.
It's not the first time Luna has been tied to someone else cashing in: she was reported to have bragged about tipping off a MAGA influencer for a betting win, which she denies. And she's far from alone in preaching one thing about stock and doing another — seven House Republicans voted for a stock-trading ban and kept trading anyway.
Why it matters in Florida's 13th
Luna asks Pinellas County voters to trust her as a reformer who will clean up Congress. Her own paperwork shows her husband draws a salary from a defense contractor and owns a tenth of its drone spinoff — a spinoff whose biggest paydays came from programs she voted to fund. And she hasn't said what that stake is worth now.
What the record shows
Anna Paulina Luna's 2025 disclosure lists her husband's salary from defense firm OKSI and his 10% stake in its drone spinoff, Nokturnal AI, valued at no more than $1,000. In 2026 that company won about $37 million in Pentagon deals, including $28 million from a program Luna voted to give $400 million. Luna pushed to ban lawmakers' families from trading stock, and she has not answered questions about what her husband's stake is worth today.
