Rep. Anna Pauling Luna (R-FL) took her fight with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) public over whether or not proxy voting will be allowed for new parents who are members of Congress.
In a Tuesday post on the X social media platform, Luna shared images of what appeared to be proof of Johnson casting proxy votes in the past.
She said Johnson was "a kind man and his heart is in the right spot but he's wrong on proxy voting for new parents."
"Here are some documents showing him voting by proxy in the 117th Congress, as late as December 2022! He argues it's 'unconstitutional' but has done it several times," she said.

Despite using proxy voting himself, Johnson has said that he believes the practice is "unconstitutional."
"I've tried to discuss this with Anna, and she's pretty stubborn about it, so we'll see what happens," the speaker said earlier this month. "But I'm not in favor of it. I filed a brief to the United States Supreme Court explaining that proxy voting is clearly unconstitutional so, you know, I have a real concern about it."
Luna is part of a bipartisan group of lawmakers pushing for proxy voting for new parents.
