EMILYs List puts 4 Florida Republicans in Congress ‘on notice’

EMILYs List is signaling its plans to target four Republican incumbents in congressional races this election cycle.

The progressive group said it has put U.S. Reps. Aaron Bean, Laurel Lee, Anna Paulina Luna and Cory Mills “on notice.” That makes the four GOP lawmakers, all of whom won election to the U.S. House in 2022, among 46 congressional Republicans nationwide singled out for “Extremist and Anti-Abortion Records.”

EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler suggested that Republican incumbents across the country are more vulnerable than ever amid outrage at President Donald Trump, particularly his deference to billionaire Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency efforts led by the Tesla CEO.

“House Republicans are working in lockstep to advance the Trump-Musk agenda and people all across the country are feeling the pain,” Mackler said.

“The chaos and cruelty has no bounds — from slash-and-burn cuts to critical programs for veterans and farmers, to voting to strip millions of health care, to their continued assault on our fundamental rights and freedoms. It’s time for House Republicans to go. That’s why EMILYs List is putting their extremism on blast. As they run scared, hiding from voters to avoid accountability, EMILYs List is exposing their real agenda to the American people.”

A release from EMILYs List slams the voting record of all four Florida lawmakers. That includes Bean, a Fernandina Beach Republican, cheering the overturning of Roe v. Wade and Luna, a St. Petersburg Republican, self-identifying as a “pro-life extremist.”

The group noted Mills’ recent personal troubles in Washington that have prompted a criminal investigation, and it hit Lee for cosponsoring legislation that criminalizes some abortion practices and limits coverage for procedures.

All four GOP lawmakers have “A+” ratings from the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life group, and all have been endorsed by Trump.

But it’s no coincidence all four are in potential battleground districts running in a Midterm, where voters have often punished the party in control of the White House. All were on a list of targets or potentially targetable districts released by House Majority PAC in December.

“In 2026, we must take back the majority in the U.S. House to create a federal check on Donald Trump and beat back GOP attacks on our rights and our livelihoods. Democratic pro-choice women will be at the heart of the fight for the majority by flipping competitive seats across the country. House Republicans beware; we are coming for your seats,” Mackler said.

    You can put Luna “on notice” all you want. She destroyed Eric Lynn and Whitney Fox in the last 2 elections and she’s just getting started with calling out corruption. No one cares about EMILYs list.
