TAMPA, Fla. – In case you missed it, the Florida State Fraternal Order of Police announced their endorsement of Senator Ashley Moody in her campaign to return to the U.S. Senate. The Florida State Fraternal Order of Police proudly represents over 24,000 law enforcement officers across the state.
Senator Ashley Moody said, “The Sunshine State’s law enforcement officers are the best in the business of keeping Florida families protected, and I am honored to have the endorsement of the Florida State Fraternal Order of Police as I work to continue to serve in the U.S. Senate. As your Senator, just as when I was your Attorney General, I am committed to policies that promote law and order, and ensure our brave men and women in uniform are supported. Other states want to defund police, but in Florida we defend them, and that is a fight I will never back down from.”
Shawn Dunlap, President of the Florida Fraternal Order of Police, said, “Senator Moody has proven time and again that she is an ally to law enforcement officers, as a leader guided by principle, and an unwavering advocate for the men and women who serve and protect our communities every day. Her consistent record of standing up for victims, supporting strong criminal justice policy, and defending the rule of law makes her one of our most trusted and respected voices in Washington… Senator Moody’s record is one of action and principle. When others hesitated, she led - ensuring law enforcement had the support and resources needed to protect Florida’s families."

The first bill Senator Moody introduced after being sworn into the United States Senate was the HELPER Act to make home ownership for law enforcement more attainable. Senator Moody believes that Florida heroes should be able to live and own a home in the communities they keep protected, and she will continue fighting to make the bipartisan HELPER Act law.
