WASHINGTON — Senator Ashley Moody has been recognized for her office’s service to Floridians.

The Republican Senator was awarded for best constituent service by the bipartisan Congressional Management Foundation. The title is part of the group’s annual Democracy Awards, which recognizes the work of lawmakers and their offices to serve communities around the country.

The constituent service award is given to a member of each party to spotlight their high levels of assistance helping people in their home states access government resources and benefits. According to Moody, her office assisted nearly 9,000 Floridians in the last year, including more than 1,000 veterans and active-duty service members.

In an interview with Local 10 in Washington, Moody credited the persistent work of her staff and their commitment to serving the state.

“When I met with my staff, I personally said ‘I want you to treat every problem that comes in as if it a problem of yours,” Moody said. “many of them feel this as a calling, what they do on behalf of Floridians.”

Moody was appointed to her seat in the Senate last year by Gov. Ron Desantis, replacing Marco Rubio, who was tapped to serve as President Donald Trump’s Secretary of State.

The Constituent Service Award was also given to California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff. Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware and Independent Rep. Kevin Kiley of California were given the award in the House.
