Angie Nixon is campaigning across Florida for the U.S. Senate, pitching affordability and a grassroots message as voters head into the Nov. 3 general election.
Nixon, a three-term state representative and the Democratic nominee, has been making in-person appeals on minimum wage, healthcare and housing while seeking support beyond her base, according to The 19th’s reporting on her campaign rollout and organizing history.
Her campaign has drawn national attention and outside support; The 19th reports that Nixon outraised Republican incumbent Ashley Moody in the third quarter, with Nixon reporting $7.6 million to Moody’s $5.8 million in that filing, even as Moody retains a larger overall war chest.
Nixon has sought to broaden her coalition by campaigning in diverse settings across the state, from college events to small counties near the Georgia line, and by emphasizing paid leave, a rent freeze and a universal jobs program as central themes, The 19th wrote.
Local TV coverage of the final days shows Nixon and Moody clashing over labels and policy. WESH reported both candidates trading attacks while noting that about 1.1 million Florida voters had already cast ballots through early and mail voting and that RealClearPolitics’ polling average showed Moody ahead 49% to 42%.
With early votes already in and Election Day approaching, Nixon’s team is leaning into grassroots organizing and high-profile appearances to make the case to persuadable and rural voters, The 19th said.
Inside-the-state endorsements and late ad spending are shaping the final stretch, and the campaign’s fundraising swing in the third quarter has prompted renewed outside interest, per The 19th’s coverage of donor activity.
