AOC endorses Florida Senate hopeful Angie Nixon in push for working-class reforms
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has publicly backed Florida Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon, praising her stance on universal health care, childcare and a national rent freeze.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a statement endorsing Florida Democrat Angie Nixon for the U.S. Senate, emphasizing the need for leaders who prioritize working families over corporate interests. Nixon, a state representative, is set to face incumbent Republican Senator Ashley Moody, who was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis after Marco Rubio vacated the seat. AOC praised Nixon’s platform, which includes universal health care, expanded childcare, and a proposal for a nationwide rent freeze, all funded without corporate PAC contributions.
Nixon responded by expressing gratitude and promising to fight for students, communities and working families. The endorsement arrives as the campaign intensifies ahead of the November special election, with President Donald Trump publicly supporting Moody.
Why it matters
The endorsement could sway voters in a closely contested Senate race that may affect the balance of power in Washington.
