Should government officials face stricter regulations regarding their families' business interests and government contracts?
As of July 9, 2026, drone technology company Nokturnal AI has secured a total of $37 million in government contracts. The company, which is 10 percent owned by Andrew Gamberzky, husband of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, received these awards through the Department of Defense.
Why it matters
The contracts, including a $28 million award from the APFIT program, highlight the intersection of government defense spending and private sector investments. Rep. Luna previously advocated for legislation that would restrict congressional members from trading public stocks.
Nokturnal AI received a $28 million APFIT contract and a $46,222 Air Force contract, totaling $37 million alongside a $9.2 million consortium award. The US Special Operations Command separately reported $31 million in spending for Unruly aerial systems.

Market Landscape
The awards fall under the APFIT program, which is designed to integrate emerging technology firms into the federal defense procurement ecosystem. This positioning reflects a broader trend of small business competition within the Department of Defense's traditional acquisition pipeline.
Readers may see changes in how federal tax dollars are allocated toward small business technology initiatives under the current administration's defense priorities. This impacts how government procurement programs like APFIT demonstrate transparency in their awarding processes.
The takeaway
The intersection of spousal investments and government procurement remains a complex area of federal ethics. Citizens tracking such disclosures can monitor the Department of Defense's open bidding processes for continued updates on vendor selection.
