Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced he will appoint Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody LL.M. ’10 to the United States Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Marco Rubio, who has been chosen to serve as U.S. Secretary of State. 

A fifth generation Floridian and native of Plant City, Florida, Moody earned her Master of Laws in International Law from Stetson in 2010. She attended the University of Florida for her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting, later earning her J.D. at the school. 

After earning her LL.M. from Stetson, Moody has since served as an adjunct professor at the College of Law and, as attorney general of Florida, has helped Stetson’s Center for Elder Justice train attorneys on how to help their elder clients avoid fraud.
