Ron DeSantis Names Attorney General Ashley Moody to Fill Vacant Senate Seat in Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis declares the appointment of Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to the U.S. Senate, highlighting her history of conservative leadership.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced today that Attorney General Ashley Moody will join the U.S. Senate following Senator Marco Rubio's departure to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's Secretary of State.
Governor DeSantis praised Moody for her steadfast dedication to conservative values and her achievements as Florida’s Attorney General.
A Proven Record of Success
DeSantis stressed the need for leaders with a track record of delivering tangible results. "Talk is cheap," he remarked. "We need individuals who have consistently demonstrated their commitment to these principles through action." He highlighted Moody’s legal experience, which includes her roles as a federal prosecutor and circuit court judge, and her tenure as Attorney General, where she has upheld law and order, opposed federal overreach, and defended Floridians' rights.
As Attorney General, Moody has challenged the Biden administration on issues like immigration and vaccine mandates. She has been instrumental in fighting human trafficking, addressing the opioid crisis, and opposing policies she viewed as detrimental to Florida’s sovereignty and citizens.
Describing her as "a national leader against federal overreach," DeSantis commended her efforts to secure Florida’s borders and maintain electoral integrity.
Commitment to Conservative Values
Moody vowed to bring the same vigor to the Senate that she showed as Attorney General. "I will not fail the citizens of Florida or my country," Moody declared. She reaffirmed her dedication to tackling government inefficiency, reducing spending, and endorsing policies that favor American workers and families.
Moody also emphasized her commitment to restoring constitutional order, resisting "woke" ideologies in education and governance, and protecting traditional values. "We need a strong Congress to prevent unelected bureaucrats from undermining the will of the American people," she stated.
A Historic Opportunity
Governor DeSantis highlighted the importance of this appointment at what he called a critical time for the nation. "This is a once-in-a-generation chance to rejuvenate the American experiment and effect real change," he said. He called on Congress to pursue bold reforms, including measures to rein in excessive spending and reduce bureaucratic overreach.
Backing President Trump’s Agenda
Moody affirmed her commitment to collaborating with President-elect Trump to advance the "America First" agenda. She expressed her readiness to support policies that secure the southern border, combat drug cartels, and enforce immigration laws to safeguard American interests.
A Distinguished Career
As a fifth-generation Floridian, Moody has built a notable legal and public service career. She began as a federal prosecutor, gaining acclaim for her work on high-profile narcotics and fraud cases. In 2007, she became Florida’s youngest circuit court judge and focused on initiatives for at-risk children and vulnerable populations. Elected as Attorney General in 2018 and re-elected in 2022, Moody has consistently emphasized public safety, medical freedom, and government accountability.
Looking Forward
Moody's appointment has garnered strong support from Florida officials and residents. Her focus on law enforcement, conservative leadership, and constitutional principles aligns with the vision shared by Governor DeSantis and President-elect Trump. The Senate is anticipated to officially confirm her role shortly.
In her closing remarks, Moody expressed gratitude for the chance to serve Florida and the nation. "I will bring the same passion and persistence to the Senate that I have in every position throughout my career," she said. "Together, we will ensure the United States remains a beacon of liberty and opportunity for generations to come."
