Ashley Moody announces 150-member grassroots committee

Ashley Moody

Republican Attorney General candidate Ashley Moody has pulled together a statewide grassroots committee with more than 150 members, her campaign announced Tuesday.

“Our campaign to serve as the state’s top prosecutor continues to build upon the significant endorsements of 42 of 49 Republican sheriffs, the Florida Police Benevolent Association, 12 of 20 State Attorneys, and local elected officials,” campaign manager Nick Catroppo stated in a news release issued by her campaign. “Today’s announcement that these more than 150 statewide grassroots leaders have joined our efforts serve as validation that Republican activists trust only one candidate for Attorney General, the only candidate who has the lifelong experience and credentials, and the only candidate who has ever prosecuted a case.”

The grassroots committee includes 41 people in her home west-central region; another 29 or 30 people each in the east-central and north-central areas of the state, as her campaign defines them; and at least 10 from five other regions.

Moody, a former circuit judge from Tampa, is facing state Rep. Frank White of Pensacola in the August 28 Republican primary.
