TAMPA, Fla.—Senator Ashley Moody joined the newly established Senate Anti-Fraud Task Force, an oversight effort focused on identifying fraud against the federal government, exposing systemic vulnerabilities, recovering taxpayer dollars, and advancing reforms that strengthen accountability.
“As Florida’s Attorney General, I recovered millions of dollars for taxpayers. As your newest United States Senator, I will keep fighting to protect every taxpayer dollar. It is a slap in the face to hard working Americans every time we uncover another case of fraudsters benefiting off the backs of taxpayers. I am committed to working alongside my colleagues to expose fraud, strengthen accountability, and deliver meaningful solutions,” said Senator Ashley Moody.
