Laura Elizabeth Loomer (born May 21, 1993)[1] is an American far-right[a] and anti-Muslim[b] conservative political activist, white nationalist,[c] conspiracy theorist[d] and internet personality.[2][3] She was the Republican nominee to represent Florida's 21st congressional district in the 2020 United States House of Representatives elections, losing to Democrat Lois Frankel.[4][5] She also ran in the Republican primary for Florida's 11th congressional district in 2022, narrowly losing to incumbent Daniel Webster.[6]

Loomer has worked as an activist for several organizations, including Project Veritas, the Geller Report, The Rebel Media and InfoWars. Loomer gained notoriety as a result of being banned from numerous social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, payment processors, vehicles for hire, and food delivery mobile apps for various reasons, including violating policies on hate speech and posting misinformation.[7][8][9][10] Loomer has also been banned and removed from events, and had press credentials revoked, for harassment and causing disturbances.[10][11]

In April 2023 it was reported that Donald Trump wanted to hire Loomer for a campaign role.[12][13] However the idea was said to be met with backlash from Trump's team, who described hefty resistance to her involvement,[14] as well as warnings from Marjorie Taylor Greene over hiring a "documented liar".[15][16][17] Since October 2023, Loomer has written and posted false claims about the Israel–Hamas war.[18][19][20][21]
