Angie Nixon
Summary
Angela Nixon is a Democratic state representative from Florida House District 13 (Jacksonville) who announced her candidacy for U.S. Senate on January 22, 2026. She is a fifth-generation Jacksonville native, union organizer, and mother who has served in the Florida House since 2020. Nixon frames her campaign around affordability and cost-of-living issues, arguing that Florida's leadership has ignored families struggling with rising costs for groceries, healthcare, childcare, housing, and property insurance. She distinguishes herself from other Democratic candidates by emphasizing her long-term roots in Florida politics and grassroots organizing experience.

Jones, as a union organizer (most recently Florida Public Service Union's Director for Higher Education Campaign and former Florida state field director for Service Employees International Union), and as executive director of Florida for All, a statewide voter engagement organization. She is also a mother of five and a small business owner operating a bookstore and community hub in Jacksonville. In April 2022, she led a sit-in demonstration (ultimately unsuccessful) to prevent a vote on Florida's congressional district maps. After graduating UF in 2007, she worked as a community organizer.
