The Florida Chamber of Commerce announced its support of Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) for a full term in the U.S. Senate by praising her work in cutting taxes, reducing regulations, and boosting the state's economic environment through a press statement this week.
“The Florida Chamber of Commerce fully endorses Ashley Moody to continue championing Florida by serving as Florida’s United States Senator,” Florida Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Mark Wilson said. “As Senator, Ashley has led from the front on cutting taxes, reducing burdensome regulations, and creating the kind of economic environment where Florida’s local businesses can thrive. Florida voters can count on Senator Moody to continue protecting Floridians against federal overreach in the United States Senate while advancing policies to further economic opportunity for all Floridians.”
The Florida Chamber of Commerce (FL Chamber), founded in 1916, is the state's largest business organization representing over 139,000 businesses. It also advocates for over three million private-sector employees across the state.
Sen. Moody is running against challengers Chris Gleason, Neelam Perry, and Ernie Rivera in the special Republican primary for U.S. Senate on Aug. 18. Moody was appointed to the seat by Gov. Ron DeSantis in Jan. 2025.
Alexander Vindman and Rep. Angie Nixon (D-Jacksonville) are on the Democratic ticket.
Sen. Moody thanked the FL Chamber for its endorsement.
“I am honored to have earned the endorsement of the Florida Chamber of Commerce,” Moody said. “The Florida Chamber represents the businesses, job creators, and entrepreneurs who make Florida the envy of the nation – the men and women who wake up every day to chase the American Dream and build something extraordinary for their families and communities. Earning their support is a reflection of our shared commitment to keeping Florida’s economy strong and growing. I look forward to continuing our partnership to lower costs, create more high-paying jobs, and make sure Washington never gets in the way of Florida’s economic success.”
The general election is Nov. 3.
