The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling!

The sky was falling in Northwest Florida for the first time in many years. It wasn’t rain or hail, but snow. Yes, snow.

South Florida is used to seeing a different type of snow come into the state in neatly packaged blocks, but the cold and fluffy stuff that fell on the Florida Panhandle caused concern for Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department of Transportation.

Prior to the historic winter storm hitting the “Gulf of America” states, Gov. DeSantis deployed FDOT to use de-icing equipment to treat some 600 state-owned bridges in the region and put utility crews on standby to fix any power outages that could occur.

After the snow fell, Gov. DeSantis joked about the winter wonderland that NW Florida had become, stating,” The blizzard beaches of Northwest Florida.”

Introducing Senator Ashley Moody

 

Shortly after Senator Marco Rubio was sworn in as Secretary of State, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to the oath of office to become the next U.S. Senator from Florida.

“Over the past six years, we secured victories fighting the opioid crisis, locking up human traffickers, pushing back on unlawful immigration policies, revolutionizing organized retail theft investigations, recruiting hundreds of new law enforcement officers, backing the blue, modernizing crime reporting, defending life, and so much more. It has been a tremendous honor to serve as your Attorney General, and I am determined to keep fighting for the future of our great state and nation as U.S. Senator,” stated Sen. Moody.

Now, Moody will face something she has never had to face—A hostile press corps.

Sen. Moody will now have to walk the daily media gauntlet on Capitol Hill. Moody held very few and controlled press conferences as attorney general, but life on Capitol Hill differs greatly from life in Tallahassee.
