Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced today that Attorney General Ashley Moody has been appointed to the U.S. Senate.

This appointment follows Senator Marco Rubio's departure to become 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.

Proven Results
Governor DeSantis stressed the need for a leader who can deliver results.

'Talk is cheap,' DeSantis remarked.

'We need individuals who have shown commitment to these principles through their actions.' He highlighted Moody’s extensive legal experience, including her roles as a federal prosecutor and circuit court judge, and her tenure as Attorney General, where she strongly advocated for law and order, opposed federal overreach, and defended the rights of Floridians.

As Attorney General, Moody led lawsuits against the Biden administration on various issues like immigration and vaccine mandates.

She also played a crucial role in fighting human trafficking, tackling the opioid crisis, and challenging policies she viewed as detrimental to Florida’s sovereignty and citizens.

DeSantis called her 'a national leader against federal overreach' and commended her efforts to protect Florida’s borders and ensure election integrity.

Dedication to Conservative Principles
In her speech, Moody promised to bring the same determination to the Senate as she demonstrated as Attorney General.

'I will not let the people of Florida down, nor will I let my country down,' Moody declared.

She emphasized her commitment to addressing federal government inefficiency, cutting spending, and supporting policies that prioritize American workers and families.

Moody also highlighted her dedication to restoring constitutional order, opposing 'woke' ideologies in education and governance, and safeguarding traditional values.

'We need a strong Congress to ensure that unelected bureaucrats do not thwart the will of the American people,' she stated.

A Historic Chance
Governor DeSantis emphasized the importance of this appointment in what he described as a critical moment for the nation.

'This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revive the American enterprise and enact significant change,' he said.

He called on Congress to embrace bold reforms, including efforts to reduce excessive spending and dismantle bureaucratic overreach.

Aligning with President Trump’s Agenda
Moody reaffirmed her commitment to collaborating with President-elect Trump to advance the 'America First' agenda.

She expressed her readiness to support initiatives that secure the southern border, tackle drug cartels, and ensure immigration laws protect American interests.

An Esteemed Career
A fifth-generation Floridian, Moody has a distinguished career in law and public service.

She started as a federal prosecutor, managing high-profile cases related to narcotics and fraud, and earned recognition for her prosecutorial abilities.

In 2007, she became Florida’s youngest circuit court judge, emphasizing initiatives for at-risk children and vulnerable populations.

Elected as Attorney General in 2018 and re-elected in 2022, Moody has consistently prioritized public safety, medical freedom, and government accountability.

Looking Forward
Moody’s appointment has garnered broad support from Florida officials and residents.

Her focus on law enforcement, conservative governance, and constitutional principles aligns with the vision of Governor DeSantis and President-elect Trump.

The Senate is expected to confirm her appointment soon.

In conclusion, Moody expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve Florida and the nation.

'I will bring the same passion and perseverance to the Senate that I have applied to every role throughout my career,' she said.

'Together, we will ensure that the United States remains a symbol of liberty and opportunity for generations to come.'
