I’m not a career politician, I’m a firefighter, an EMT, a paramedic, a husband, a father, and someone who has spent my life serving others when they needed help most. Now, I’m running for Congress because I believe that same commitment to service belongs in Washington. I know what it’s like to make life-or-death decisions, to work alongside people from every background, and to see firsthand the challenges families face, from rising healthcare costs and housing affordability to protecting our environment and strengthening public safety. My campaign is about putting people before politics, listening before leading, and delivering real results for Florida’s Treasure Coast. Together, we can fight for: 🚒 Stronger support for first responders 🏥 Affordable, accessible healthcare 🌊 Clean water and environmental protection 🏠 Affordable housing and economic opportunity 🗳️ A government that works for everyone, not just the well-connected This campaign isn’t about me, it’s about us and the future we want to build together. Join the movement, share this video, and let’s make history together.

Also, along with the weather that is potentially going to play a factor in turnout tomorrow, don’t forget that the people in the panhandle, which is a Republican stronghold in the state of Florida, are still recovering from a major hurricane that just hit their area. All those voters are not thinking about the election right now, as they are still trying to put their lives back together and there has been no help from the state or FEMA.

The one thing no one’s talking about here in Florida is the weather. If it’s gonna be raining with potential flooding on election day, the same way it is raining today, that’s gonna dramatically impact voter turnout and who is willing to show up to the polls tomorrow.

Fort Pierce Central Vs. Westwood is the rivalry game in St Lucie County and it’s one of the most attended events in the city of Fort Pierce, which is a predominantly black City. These factors are why I was not surprised to see Congressman Brian Mast make an appearance on the sideline during an election year. Being visible and standing on the sideline in the rain to support the local teams, is a heck of a photo opp. Hopefully enough people can see through this smokescreen and vote on November 3rd.

Rest easy, my brother. Thank you for the memories, the friendship, the laughs, and the positive energy you brought into this world. From the Boys & Girls Club to the firehouse, I’ll always be grateful our paths crossed. I’ll never forget you, Austin Hodge. Until we meet again, brother.

Today, I’m honored to share that President Obama is supporting our campaign for the U.S. Senate. President @BarackObama & I both started as organizers in our communities, because we immediately understood that real changes come from regular folks joining the fight. #AngieForFlorida

Angie Nixon: We keep losing because we listen to the consultants. People are just tired. They're tired of the people suited up that are so poll tested and rigid. They want someone that is AUTHENTIC. They want someone who they can see themselves in—and I'm that person.
