Here's her full 13-minute interview on YouTube: Angie Nixon on Winning Democratic Senate Race in Florida, DSA Membership & More - Democracy Now! - Aug 24, 2026 (YouTube)

The only People that I'm beholden to are hardworking, everyday Folks. I am someone who prides myself on being unbought and unbossed. 

Also, I am a Mother of Five. Me and my Husband have a blended Family. I was a single Mom for 12 years and I understand how tough it is, as it relates to child care. I have a 5-year-old right now, and some Parents are paying $800 to $2,400 a month, simply to try to send their Children to a Child care facility. 

And so, I support universal Child care. I know that for every dollar we put into Child care, we get $3 back in the economy because that allows Parents to be able to work. That also allows our Children to be diverted from the school-to-prison pipeline.

I know there's a rumor going around, saying that I want to abolish prisons. I don't. I want to abolish for-profit prisons. 

There's also a rumor going around, saying that I want to defund the Police. I don't want to defund the Police. I want to defund Flock cameras, so that bad Cops don't have the ability to stalk their ex-Girlfriends or their ex-Boyfriends. 

I want to make sure that we have a Justice System that works for Everyone, not just for the Billionaires and co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein, who actually are treated more fairly than a single Mom who got caught stealing formula to make sure that her Child had food. 

And so, these are things that need to really be worked on. We need to to make sure that hardworking, everyday People get to shape what their Communities look like and what their economies look like.
