Anna Paulina Luna Faces Threats Amid Political Turmoil in Florida
Threats Against Anna Paulina Luna
The Justice Department revealed an indictment Friday charging William Robert Braddock III, a Florida man, with threatening to kill his political opponent, Anna Paulina Luna, in 2021. Braddock, 41, from St. Petersburg, reportedly threatened to 'call up my Russian-Ukrainian hit squad' to make his primary opponent disappear. Luna has echoed concerns about Braddock's behavior, stating that he was stalking her and posing a genuine threat to her safety.
Legal Actions Taken
In response to the alarming threats, a Florida court granted Luna and her friend Erin Olszewski a temporary restraining order against Braddock. Following this decision, Braddock withdrew from the congressional race. A spokesperson for Luna indicated that she has been dealing with an escalating wave of death threats recently, underscoring the perilous environment for candidates.
