For Ashley Moody, loyalty to the ‘boss’ pays off with a Senate seat

The breakdown

Two major Florida editorial boards, the week she was handed the seat: she called DeSantis “boss,” backed the “gross misuse of state money” against ballot measures and signed onto a 2020 election lawsuit one of her own top deputies called “bats–t insane.”

Somebody did askWIOD radio, October 2026
Manny Muñoz, WIOD

“What did you know about where that money was going?”

Ashley Moody

“That was an agency that did a settlement and three other agencies, including the attorney general’s office has to sign off on claims, has to review for legalities. So, I think any questions regarding that settlement needs to be directed to that agency.”

Manny Muñoz, WIOD

“But you were attorney general at the time though?”

Ashley Moody

“Right, so there were three other agencies that had to review the AHCA settlement for legal sufficiency, which they did.”
