Health careNo. 02/14

Federal premium subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans should be expanded.

These subsidies lower the monthly cost of health plans bought on HealthCare.gov and state marketplaces. Expanding them would lower premiums for more buyers and increase federal spending.

Ashley Moody Disagree

On the Cloture Motion (Motion to Invoke Cloture: Motion to Proceed to S. 3385) - Nay

GunsNo. 03/14

Federal law should require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.

Background

Federal law requires background checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for most sales between private individuals. This would extend the requirement to private sales.

Ashley Moody Disagree

force thousands of law-abiding gun owners to register as federal firearms dealers and navigate a federal bureaucracy

AbortionNo. 04/14

Abortion laws should be set by each state rather than by Congress.

Background

Since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, each state sets its own abortion laws. Agreeing means Congress should not pass a national law that either expands or restricts access.

Energy and climateNo. 05/14

The federal government should expand oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters.

Background

This concerns leases on land and offshore areas the federal government owns. It does not cover drilling on private or state land.

Ashley Moody Agree

President Trump declared a National Emergency on energy...Democrats are trying to undo that bold action as if their destructive policies didn't hurt us enough. Tonight we stopped those efforts.

EconomyNo. 06/14

The U.S. should keep broad tariffs on imported goods.

Background

Democracy and electionsNo. 07/14

Voters should have to show photo identification to vote in federal elections.

Background

Voter ID rules are set by each state today and vary widely. This would set one photo ID requirement for federal elections nationwide.

Ashley Moody Agree

This would require ID to vote. This is something where the vast majority...agree that this should become law.

Energy and climateNo. 08/14

Large data centers should pay the full cost of new power plants and grid upgrades built to serve them.

Background

Utilities often spread the cost of new power plants and transmission lines across all their customers. This would charge the cost of capacity built for large data centers, many of them serving artificial intelligence, to those data centers.

Ashley Moody Agree

If billion-dollar tech companies want to build a massive data center, Floridians should not be left to foot the bill.

Foreign policyNo. 09/14

The president should get approval from Congress before taking further military action against Iran.

Background

The U.S. carried out military strikes on Iran in 2025 without a vote in Congress. This would require approval by Congress before further U.S. military action against Iran, other than responding to an attack.

Ashley Moody Disagree

On the motion to discharge S.J.Res. 180, a joint resolution to direct removal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran not authorized by Congress: Moody voted Nay; motion rejected 47-49.

Foreign policyNo. 10/14

The U.S. should continue sending military aid to Israel.

Background

The U.S. gives Israel about $3.8 billion in military aid a year under a 10-year agreement, plus added aid approved since 2023. Continuing keeps that aid in place; ending or limiting it would take action by Congress or the president.

HousingNo. 11/14

The federal government should spend more to build housing that low- and middle-income families can afford.

Background

Federal programs such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and HOME grants help pay for affordable homes and apartments. This would increase federal funding for building that housing.

EducationNo. 12/14

The federal government should help pay for child care for working families.

Background

Federal child care help today comes mainly through block grants to states and tax credits, and reaches a small share of eligible families. This would expand federal funding so more working families pay less for child care.

EducationNo. 13/14

Federal tax credits should fund scholarships that families can use for private school tuition.

Background

A 2025 federal law created a tax credit, starting in 2027, for donations to groups that fund private school scholarships in states that opt in. Agreeing means keeping or expanding that kind of federal support.

Ashley Moody Agree

The provision included in the One Big Beautiful Bill is a federal tax credit scholarship that would help as many as two million students access a school or education service of their parents’ choice.
