U.S. Senator Ashley Moody recently addressed the state conventions of both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, utilizing the platforms to thank veterans for their service and outline her ongoing legislative focus on the U.S. Armed Forces and military families.
Legislative Record
Moody, a member of a military family who recently joined the Senate Armed Services Committee, has backed a variety of federal measures aimed at active-duty personnel and veterans. Her legislative record includes cosponsoring the Veterans Bill of Rights Act, which mandates that the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs clearly inform veterans of their healthcare and benefits rights, as well as the Military Spouse Hiring Act, which targets employment obstacles faced by military families.
Additionally, Moody cosponsored the Major Richard Star Act to adjust disability policies for retired combat veterans, supported the Veterans Education and Technical Skills (VETS) Opportunity Act to expand educational benefits, and backed the Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025.
On defense and national security, Moody introduced the Drone Espionage Act, a bill designed to penalize video surveillance espionage at military sites.
