A new political advertisement targets Senator Ashley Moody, a Florida Republican, over her vote against releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The ad centers on Epstein, who faced sex crime accusations in Palm Beach. It marks the latest effort by midterm campaigns to spotlight the Epstein case.
The spot criticizes Moody for opposing the release of documents tied to the financier. Epstein was accused of sex crimes in Florida before his federal case in New York. His name has become a recurring theme in midterm advertising.
The advertisement is part of a broader wave of campaign messaging focused on Epstein. Candidates in several races have used the case to attack opponents. The strategy appears designed to energize voters ahead of the midterms.
Moody’s vote against releasing the files is the ad’s central claim. The senator has not issued a direct response to the spot. Her office has not commented publicly on the criticism.
Epstein’s Florida legal history has drawn renewed attention in recent election cycles. The Palm Beach accusations predate his later federal prosecution. Campaigns have seized on the case to question opponents’ records.
The ad reflects a growing trend of tying candidates to high-profile controversies. Political observers note that Epstein-related messaging can cut across party lines. It remains unclear how much the spot will influence voter opinion.
Midterm advertising increasingly features national figures and scandals. The Moody ad is one of several expected to reference the Epstein files. The race will test whether such attacks resonate with Florida voters.
