Moody Gets Support of Teamsters Leader, but Nixon Said She Stands with Members
Sean O'Brien said Moody has worked with the union on pensions, jobs and apprenticeship programs as early voting continues in Florida.
- On Sunday, Teamsters General President Sean cast his first Florida vote for Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, praising her collaboration on pensions and jobs ahead of Tuesday's special U.S. Senate election.
- Sean cited Moody's work protecting pensions, defending good-paying jobs, and supporting union apprenticeship programs through her seat on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
- At the heart of the union's backing is Moody's TRADES Act, steering federal dollars into vocational programs; Sean stated the Teamsters look forward to passing the Faster Labor Contracts Act.
- Appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in January 2025 to replace Marco Rubio, Moody is seeking election Tuesday and faces Democratic Socialist state Rep. Angie Nixon in the special Senate race.
- Nixon criticized the announcement, urging rank-and-file Teamsters to support her instead; Sean, who previously endorsed Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall, has drawn attention for supporting certain Republican candidates.
