Ashley Moody espoused conservative positions as Florida attorney general, including opposing the restoration of voting rights to most people with felony convictions, opposing COVID-19-era mask mandates, and being “100 percent pro-life” on reproductive rights issues. In the wake of the 2020 presidential election, which was won by Joe Biden, she joined Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and other Republican attorneys general in failed bids to get the results of the election overturned in Donald Trump’s favor. During her time in the Senate, she was a reliable Republican vote, expressing support for Trump’s policies on the border and the Iran war and notably grilling Dr. Anthony Fauci during a 2026 hearing. She drew praise for being a low-key and effective legislator who focuses on constituent services.
