TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody today released the following statement on Governor Ron DeSantis’ selection of Judge Laurel Lee to serve as Florida’s next Secretary of State:

“I applaud Governor Ron DeSantis’ appointment of Judge Laurel Lee as Florida’s Secretary of State. Judge Lee’s almost two decades of legal experience, including five years as a Circuit Court Judge, make her uniquely qualified to manage Florida’s elections system.

“We served together as judges in the 13^th Judicial Circuit and have known each other since we attended the University of Florida together. I have full confidence Judge Lee will serve the state of Florida honorably as the next Secretary of State.”
