Far-left
socialist Angie Nixon is benefiting from the
same property tax relief she tried to kill for Florida homeowners.
Nixon hates
to see more money in Floridians’ pockets, calling the
largest middle-class tax cut in history that eliminated taxes on tips,
overtime, and Social Security “BS” and vowing to repeal
it to pay for her socialist wish list.

Florida
Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon, an avowed socialist who has made
affordability the centerpiece of her campaign, is reaping the financial
benefits of a homestead tax exemption she voted against in the State House of
Representatives in 2024, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of
property tax records.
Florida
offers two property tax exemptions for primary residences, both of which reduce
the property's taxable value by $25,000 for a combined total of $50,000 in
exemptions. In an 86-29 party-line vote in February 2024, the Florida House
voted to approve an amendment to the state constitution to adjust one of those
homestead exemptions to the rate of inflation every year, with Nixon joining
her fellow Democrats in a failed effort to reject the proposal. Voters
overwhelmingly approved the measure in a 66-34 percent vote during the November
2024 elections.

County property tax records show Nixon, who has served in the Florida House
since 2020, is now taking full advantage of the measure she voted against to
reduce her home's assessed value by an additional $722 in 2025 and $1,411 in
2026. Those savings, which are applied automatically for homeowners who applied
for homestead exemptions, are expected to grow substantially over time as
inflation continues to chip away at the value of the dollar.
Nixon's
legislative efforts to block property tax relief for Florida homeowners
resurface as she campaigns for U.S. Senate on a platform of tackling the
affordability crisis in her state. Nixon, who joined the Democratic Socialists
of America in June and is campaigning for Medicare for All, free childcare, and
a national rent freeze, says on her campaign website that homeownership is out
of reach for millions of Floridians specifically because homeowners in the
state "now pay some of the highest insurance premiums in the nation."
But in
December 2025, just one month before she launched her Senate campaign, Nixon
came out against another bill in the Florida House that would provide a tax
break to Florida homeowners saddled with the nation's highest insurance
premiums, saying the measure would unjustly enrich insurance companies.
"This
bill seems to somewhat incentivize these insurance companies," Nixon told
CBS News. "You're basically looking out for them when you should be
looking out for working-class families."
