Key Florida Senate Race Has Been Called

Moody’s path to the Senate reflects a deep conservative pedigree rooted in law enforcement and constitutional principles.

Born March 28, 1975, in Plant City—the “Winter Strawberry Capital of the World”—she earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting plus a J.D. from the University of Florida, and an LL.M. in international law from Stetson University.

She began as a commercial litigator at Holland & Knight, then served as an assistant U.S. attorney prosecuting drug, firearm, and fraud cases.

In 2006, at age 31, she became Florida’s youngest circuit court judge, serving the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County until 2017.

Elected Florida’s 38th attorney general in 2018, Moody took office in January 2019 and quickly became a national conservative leader.
