I will never stop fighting for and standing up for Floridians\u2019 God-given freedom,\u201d said Senator Ashley Moody.\n\nBACKGROUND:\n\nDuring her time as Attorney General, Senator Moody supported Florida\u2019s efforts to reopen the economy and protect residents, workers and businesses during COVID-19. Moody worked with Governor DeSantis on the Re-Open Florida Task Force that was instrumental in opening businesses and schools.\n\nAs the former Attorney General, Senator Moody led 20 other states in a multistate legal action against the Biden administration\u2019s unlawful mask mandate on public transportation.\n\nSenator Moody boldly advocated for restarting the cruise industry after it had been shut down for more than a year, challenging the CDC\u2019s restrictions on Florida\u2019s cruise industry, and arguing they harmed the state\u2019s ports, tourism economy, and workforce.\n\nSenator Moody also opposed federal vaccine mandates and supported legal challenges to those requirements. Moody led a coalition of 21 state attorneys general in filing an amicus brief in support of the commonwealth of Kentucky\u2019s multistate suit against Biden\u2019s federal contractor vaccine mandate.\n\nEarly in the pandemic, Senator Moody activated Florida\u2019s Price Gouging Hotline for essential supplies and issued consumer alerts warning about COVID-19 related scams. Her office investigated complaints involving essential goods, fraudulent schemes, and recovered more than $11 million.\n\nView Senator Moody\u2019s full hearing remarks here.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-07-30T07:32:48Z", "2026-07-30T07:34:08Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.moody.senate.gov/press-releases/video-senator-moody-holds-fauci-to-account-for-misrepresentations-to-the-public-during-covid/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.575594138354063, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
