Florida’s most recent former “Top Cop” is sticking up for her former colleagues and other public servants in her first bill filed in the U.S. Senate.
Republican U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody’s Homes for Every Local Protector, Educator, and Responder (HELPER) Act seeks to provide Federal Housing Administration home loan assistance to teachers, cops, firefighters and other first responders.
She’s reaching across party lines and state lines with this introduction, teaming up with Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia.
Moody invokes her half-dozen years as Florida Attorney General in explaining why this legislation, which was previously introduced by her predecessor Marco Rubio, is so meaningful to her.
“Florida is the most pro law enforcement state in the nation,” the Plant City Republican said.
“Over the past six years, while many other states and cities disparaged and cut funding for law enforcement, I fought for raises, bonuses, relocation assistance, and other benefits to show these officers that we value their service. The HELPER Act is the next great step in ensuring these heroes know we appreciate their hard work and sacrifices. It will also help them purchase a home in the community where they serve.”
Yet it’s not just her political history that inspires this bill. It’s also a personal connection, she relates, that drives her to fight for cops’ well-being.
“As the wife of a law enforcement officer, I see firsthand the sacrifices made each day. Standing up for the LEO community will always be a top priority of mine, and I am proud that my first bill in the U.S. Senate will help them make their dream of homeownership a reality,” Moody said.
Ossoff notes that he is “working across the aisle to support Georgia’s teachers, first responders, and law enforcement officers by making homeownership more affordable for public servants who teach our kids and protect our families.”
There’s a Florida connection to the House companion legislation as well.
U.S. Rep. John Rutherford, a former Jacksonville Sheriff, is one of four co-sponsoring that launch.

Memories of the left wing lunatic rallying cry, “defund the police”.

Memories of J6 criminals claiming to be doing the bidding of Putin’s Poodle who turns around and pardons ALL of them.
Wonder how that went down with Moody and her spouse?

You keep spinning. You are a school teacher right? Who was President when Putin invaded Ukraine? Go ahead and use google if it helps. No invasions under Trump. How many under the true lap dog? Google
That one too.

Spinning? If Moody and you were serious, then you MAGAs would have criticized pardoning and freeing the J6 rioters. Instead, craven MAGAs that you all are, you all deflect and elide. Sorry, but actions will always speak louder than words.
As for Trump being characterized as Putin’s Poodle, why have their interactions — in person and on the phone — never been documented? The whole world knows Trump and Putin as chronic liars.

Another NPC temporarily emerging from the Leftist Fever Swamp to post a comment from their master. Nice.

I can barely master myself, but MAGAs have totally lost the ability to think for themselves and follow facts rather than Trumpian bile.

CRIMEA INVASION AND PEACHY
The Senate had a Democratic majority, while the House had a Republican majority when Putin sent his military into Crimea in 2014. The Nov. 2014 elections gave control of both houses to the pre-MAGA GOP.
Peachy, a Poodle puppy, imagines the President has all the power, echoing Putin’s Poodle. But Congress still holds some cards as do the courts. Obama might have done more about the invasion but Congress was not willing to support him.
If Peachy would do an online search, he might learn a FACT: Trump in 2014 blamed Ukraine for the Crimean invasion by Putin. Trump has continued to blame Ukraine, especially after Zelensky stiff-armed him when Trump wanted to gin up a case against Biden (which led to Trump’s first impeachment).
