Political Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax reductions and targeted tax relief measures, including extending provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and proposing tax deductions for specific costs (for example, flood insurance and casualty losses). Emphasizes permanent tax reductions for small businesses and reducing regulatory burdens to spur economic growth.
Healthcare
Ashley Moody, as Florida Attorney General, joined state-led federal litigation seeking to invalidate the Affordable Care Act and supported legal challenges that would overturn the law. Her public actions as AG include maintaining Florida’s participation among plaintiffs challenging the ACA’s constitutionality and opposing ACA protections. Her record shows support for dismantling the ACA rather than expanding government-run coverage.
Show moreShow less
Immigration & Border
Supports enforcement-first immigration policies including expanded expedited removals/deportations for criminal aliens, increased state and local enforcement cooperation (expanded 287(g)-style authority), and stricter border controls and restrictions on releases of migrants. Has led multi-state legal and policy actions against federal immigration policies she describes as permissive and has introduced federal legislation to accelerate removal of noncitizens convicted of crimes and increase state enforcement powers.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as pro‑life and has defended state restrictions on abortion, supporting enforcement of a 15‑week ban and opposing a proposed state constitutional amendment that would enshrine broad abortion rights. She has urged courts to reject precedents that recognize a broad state constitutional right to abortion and framed abortion restrictions as matters for the legislature and courts.
Climate & Energy
The candidate has taken actions both to limit offshore oil and gas development near Florida’s coast while also opposing federal greenhouse-gas and transportation-emissions rules and regulatory measures such as net-zero highway-emissions requirements. Positions combine local protections for Florida’s coastline with legal and policy opposition to federal emissions regulations and mandates. Overall, the record shows mixed signals on climate and energy policy rather than a clear alignment with aggressive emissions-reduction or pro-fossil-fuel expansion platforms.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate opposes broad assault‑weapons bans and has defended legal challenges to ballot measures she said would be overly vague and effectively ban many commonly owned semi‑automatic long guns. She emphasizes support for law enforcement and has received endorsements and favorable ratings from pro‑gun groups while promoting public‑safety priorities tied to policing and prosecutors.

Ashley Moody is in the news for her 2026 Florida Senate campaign, which is drawing attention because she is running a cautious, low-profile race while some Republicans worry about turnout. Early polling shows a competitive contest against Democrat Alex Vindman, though Moody has also held a narrow lead in some surveys. She is also facing renewed scrutiny over the Hope Florida scandal, with Democrats attacking her role in a $10 million transfer that was later diverted to political committees.
