Moody said the bill was meant to ensure the United States remains competitive and at the forefront of space innovation and exploration by making spaceport facility bonds tax-exempt and treating spaceports like airports and seaports.

Her office publicly tied the bill to maintaining U.S. leadership in space innovation and exploration, with a concrete policy mechanism.

The release says the NDAA included expanded shipbuilding, prioritization of Golden Dome missile defense, and programming and research efforts for the Space Coast, and describes these as victories secured by Moody through passage of the NDAA.

Moody helped advance defense-related provisions and Space Coast programming through the NDAA, which is concrete follow-through on the defense side of the promise.

Moody said she is dedicated to supporting Florida’s Space Coast and helping keep the nation first in space; the background section says she introduced the Secure U.S. Leadership in Space Act, which the release states became law, and also sponsored the CAPE Canaveral Act and Space Ready Act.

By April 2026, her office claimed one space bill became law and that she continued pushing additional space legislation, but the broader promise remains only partly fulfilled.

Moody made concrete same-term efforts toward the promise by introducing the Secure U.S. Leadership in Space Act, sponsoring additional space-related bills, and claiming space and defense-related provisions through the NDAA. The evidence also says her office claimed one space bill became law. However, the promise is broad, covering U.S. leadership across space exploration, national defense, and commercial spaceflight, and the record provided shows meaningful but incomplete progress rather than a fully achieved expansion across all promised areas.
