Senator Ashley Moody Named to Senate Armed Services Committee

U.S. Senator Ashley Moody has been named to serve on the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services, according to a news release issued by her office on March 26, 2026.

The Senate Armed Services Committee is responsible for oversight of the nation’s military, including the Department of Defense, military operations, and national defense policy. The committee plays a key role in shaping legislation such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which provides funding and guidance for the U.S. Armed Forces.

Florida is home to more than 1.5 million veterans and over 20 military installations, as well as three combatant commands—U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). As such, representation on the Armed Services Committee is particularly relevant to the state’s military and veteran community.

In the release, Senator Moody noted the importance of supporting service members and maintaining a strong national defense. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker also welcomed her appointment to the committee.
