Angie Nixon Launches Florida Political PAC After Senate Defeat

Angie Nixon, the Democratic candidate who lost her U.S. Senate bid to Ashley Moody on Tuesday, announced the creation of a new political organization called Never Scared PAC on Thursday night. Nixon told supporters the group is dedicated to building the political and economic power of everyday hardworking people across Florida. The announcement comes after Nixon conceded her statewide race, where Moody secured 51% of the vote against Nixon's 48%.

According to the Florida Division of Elections, more than 8.2 million Floridians cast ballots in the contest. The final tally showed Moody winning by approximately 239,000 votes. Nixon stated in a written statement that her campaign focused on ensuring that residents who work hard and raise families have the power to determine their own futures. She emphasized that the effort was never solely about winning a specific title.

Nixon characterized the new PAC as a vehicle for developing leaders and organizing communities. She said the organization aims to ensure working people have a real voice in the decisions that shape their lives. In her remarks, Nixon noted that the group was never afraid to challenge the political establishment and remains committed to the work ahead. She described the initiative as a way to build something lasting rather than a temporary effort.

The margin of Nixon's loss marked a notable shift compared to recent cycles in Florida. In 2024, Republican Rick Scott defeated Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell by 13 points, capturing 56% of the vote to 43%. In 2022, Republican Marco Rubio defeated Democrat Val Demings by 16 points, with results of 58% to 42%. Nixon's performance in the 2026 election narrowed that gap significantly compared to those previous contests.
