Angie Nixon won Florida’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary, defeating Alex Vindman, and will face incumbent Ashley Moody in the general election. Nixon’s platform includes expanded public services and higher taxes on billionaires.
Nixon won 56% of the vote to Vindman’s 44%, with an estimated 99% counted. The article says she is the second Black woman to win a major-party U.S. Senate nomination in Florida and will face Republican Sen. Ashley Moody in the general election. If elected, Nixon would be the first Black lawmaker to represent Florida in the Senate.
The article describes Nixon as a progressive and quotes her campaign website on proposals including Medicare for all, free childcare, tuition-free public college and a national rent freeze. It also reports that she was charged after a sit-in at Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office protesting Florida’s redrawn congressional map, and that her trial is scheduled for September.
