Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has been chosen by Gov. Ron DeSantis to fill Marco Rubio's U.S. Senate seat, becoming only the second woman to represent Florida in the chamber.
Moody, who was elected as the state's top law enforcement officer in 2018, had a strong focus on being a prosecutor rather than a traditional politician, showcasing her dedication to law enforcement.
Her political visibility increased notably during the COVID-19 pandemic when she pressed the federal government to hold China accountable for the virus outbreak.
Prior to her political career, Moody's legal experience included serving as a federal prosecutor and being a circuit judge in Hillsborough County, which laid the groundwork for her public service.
