About
Ashley Moody (R) has served as Florida’s attorney general since 2019 and won reelection in 2022 with Trump’s endorsement. Since beginning her second term she has continued to express her right-wing views, suing the Department of Homeland Security over its response to the end of the Title 42 immigration policy, speaking out against the legalization of recreational cannabis in Florida, and despite her ties with Trump, endorsing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) for president.
Prior to becoming attorney general, Moody worked as a civil attorney, a prosecutor, and was elected as a circuit court judge in 2006.
Moody is a member of the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) and served on its executive committee as well as on the board of its political action arm, the Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF). That organization sent out robocalls urging Trump supporters to heed the president’s call to come to Washington on Jan. 6 to “stop the steal.”
Donald Trump, Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle were guests of honor at an April 2022 fundraiser for Moody’s reelection campaign.
The Big Lie
- In December 2020, Moody signed the RAGA amicus brief in support of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the results of the presidential election in four swing states: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
