Elected as the state’s top law enforcement officer in 2018, Moody campaigned on a pledge to voters that she’d be a prosecutor, not a politician.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday said he would appoint Ashley Moody, his state’s attorney general, to replace Marco Rubio in the Senate.

Florida Democratic Party chair Nikki Fried called Ashley Moody "Ron's personal lapdog from day one" who "defended his extreme agenda at every turn."
