GOP Sen. Ashley Moody wins special Senate election for Marco Rubio’s old seat in Florida
Moody will serve the final two years of Marco Rubio’s term after a race shaped by public safety, affordability and party divisions.
- Republican Sen. Ashley Moody won the special election yesterday for the Senate seat previously held by Marco Rubio, securing a full term in the Capitol's Upper House.
- Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Moody in January 2025 after Rubio vacated the position to serve as President Donald Trump's Secretary of State.
- The fifth-generation Floridian from Plant City campaigned on "law and order" and America-first policies, while Democratic State Representative Angie Nixon prioritized social benefits like Medicare and universal childcare.
- Moody will keep her seat in the Capitol's Upper House for another six years, ensuring both Florida Senate seats remain occupied by Republicans for at least four years.
- The victory maintains Republican dominance in the Sunshine State, where Sen. Rick Scott previously defeated Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell by more than 1.3 million votes in 2024.
