Hillsborough County prosecutor
Nearly two decades as a state prosecutor in Tampa before anyone in Washington knew the name. Violent crime, the courtroom, the job that is not a press conference. That is the part of the résumé the Senate heard first.

Elected 2010, two terms through 2019. She made the office’s name on human trafficking statutes, public-awareness campaigns, and a war on the pill mills that had made Florida a national punchline. Prescription-opioid volume in the state fell on her watch.

She sat on President Trump’s first-term Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission. In Florida she led multistate litigation against manufacturers and distributors. The brief was prevention, interdiction, and treatment — not a press release about feelings.
