Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody hasn’t been sworn into the Senate yet, but she’s already eyeing her first federal election next year.
Moody, whom Gov. Ron DeSantis announced as the replacement for future Secretary of State Marco Rubio once the exiting Senator is confirmed by his soon-to-be-former colleagues next week, will be buoyed by the eponymous Moody for Florida committee, according to Federal Election Commission records.
This is a different committee than her state-level Friends of Ashley Moody committee, which had nearly $4 million cash on hand at last accounting. As was shown when DeSantis ran for President in 2023, transferring $82.5 million into a super PAC behind that effort, there is precedent for that state-level money to be moved to a federal committee backing her Senate run, though not necessarily this one formed Thursday.
The principals behind Moody’s state level committee (Chairperson Melanie Bonanno, Treasurer Rich Heitmeyer and Registered Agent Richard E. Coates) are not involved in the nascent federal account.
Kirsten Quick of Tampa serves as custodian of records and as treasurer. Chain Bridge Bank of McLean, a city in northern Virginia, is the depository associated with the Moody for Florida account.
In her re-election bid in 2022, Moody surfed the red wave in the state, demolishing her Democratic opponent with more than 60% of the vote. Republicans maintained strong momentum in 2024’s statewide elections as well, and there is little indication that she would be particularly vulnerable from an opposition party challenge in 2026 or 2028 (the seat will be on the ballot both cycles, then won’t be contested until 2034).
However, Moody may face a Primary, at least if talk from U.S. Rep. Cory Mills is to be believed. He says his “hat is going to be thrown into the ring” next year.
The Governor has discouraged this rhetoric already, however, saying he doubts that any challenger to the appointee could “successfully challenge in a Republican Primary.”

“Chain Bridge Bank of McLean, a city in northern Virginia, is the depository associated with the Moody for Florida account.”
Not a bank for working folks, or even operating in the state of Florida. Is it possible to be more opaque?

Riddle me this. How does Newsom afford a 9.1 million dollar mansion on his salary? His annual wages would have to be nearly 2 million to qualify for a mortgage. He makes nearly 90 percent less than that.

You’re stirring the sh!t pot huh? You know this bumpkiss so stop your nonsense.
This type of question often circulates on social media as part of political discussions. Here are some points to consider when addressing it:
Wealth Beyond Salary: Gavin Newsom, like many politicians, may have income sources beyond his government salary. He comes from a wealthy family and has longstanding ties to California’s business elite. His businesses and investments, particularly in the hospitality and wine industries, could contribute to his wealth.
Joint Ownership or Contributions: High-value properties are often purchased with the help of other resources. For instance, if his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, has substantial income or family wealth, this could factor into their ability to afford such a property.
Financing and Mortgage Calculations: The riddle implies that a person must earn 2 million annually to qualify for a mortgage on a $9.1 million home, but this depends on other assets, down payments, and lender flexibility. A significant down payment (e.g., from savings, investments, or family assistance) could reduce the mortgage amount and the required income.
Assumptions About the Purchase: It’s not always the case that people buy expensive homes with traditional financing. Wealthy individuals sometimes purchase properties outright or use creative financial instruments like trusts or partnerships.
Public Disclosure: As a public figure, Newsom’s financial disclosures are subject to public records and scrutiny. These filings can provide insights into his sources of income, assets, and liabilities.
The question seems designed to provoke skepticism or criticism rather than seek an informed answer. Engaging with financial disclosure documents or credible news sources can clarify how public figures manage their finances.
Look at his public disclosures.

Gavin Newsom’s wealth comes from more than his governor’s salary. He has business investments, family wealth, and a high-earning spouse. Wealthy individuals often make large down payments or buy outright, bypassing traditional mortgage rules. Public financial disclosures can clarify the details. You are trying to stir the pooppot. Careful, you’ll have to lick the spoon.

So he really is an elitist. Just like Nancy. I laugh at that metrosexual trying to be one of the guys. I bet the dude gets his nails done.

So you got nothing then? Just mudsling and the old trope about being and elistist or a metrosexual? There’s about Billion What-about-isms I could sling with Musk, Trump, and Ramasalami.
You truly do suck at this and your assumptions are crap. Allow us to disabuse you them.

Ashley Moody will win easily. She may even run unopposed because the Democratic Party of Florida lies in ruins.

Sad that a lot of people aren’t being represented in this state. Not everyone agrees with MAGA or the extreme conservative policies. Hows that home insurance hill Suzy
