<p>Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody (R) expressed excitement on Thursday after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) named her as the replacement for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in the U.S. Senate after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Rubio for Secretary of State.</p>
<p>Speaking in Orlando immediately after DeSantis announced that she was his appointment for the seat, Moody said that she only had a few hours to figure out what she was going to say.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">She gave DeSantis full credit for everything that Florida has become under his </span>leadership as the state.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8220;I will bring the same persistence and passion and tenacity as a United States senator that I have brought as Florida&#8217;s Attorney General,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If you have worked with me and fought with me over the last six years, you know I don&#8217;t think of this as a job, I think of it as a calling. Every day I go to work, every decision that I make, every person I hire, I do so with the understanding that the people of Florida gave me this opportunity, and I want to deliver on what I assured them, and that was we were going to protect their rights.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>She said that she believes that her highly energetic nature could help change the culture in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">&#8220;I probably won&#8217;t like it, but I&#8217;m ready to show up and fight for this nation and fight for President Trump to deliver the American first agenda on day one,&#8221; she said. &#8220;</span>What has angered me the most as attorney general, as I have had to fight the Biden administration over the last four years, when we have seen policy after policy after rule, after financial decisions, spending out of these agencies, as the agencies have gotten bigger, as they have taken more power, as they have tried to tell the states what to do more and more and more — all that does is take the will of the people, the want of the people, through their elected representatives in Congress, and turns this into a country we don&#8217;t even recognize anymore.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;And whether it&#8217;s agencies making these decisions when lawmakers should, unelected bureaucrats, or whether it&#8217;s international organizations making decisions that our lawmakers should, we cannot stand for that,&#8221; she added. &#8220;The only way to return this country to the people, the people who govern it, is to make sure we have a strong Congress doing its job passing laws and actually approving the regulations that these unelected bureaucrats are trying to cram down on the American people.&#8221;</p>
