BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — State Rep. Angie Nixon drew an overflow crowd at St. John Missionary Baptist Church, where people lined the vestibule to see the Florida Democrat as she emerged as a contender for a U.S. Senate seat.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Jolly was also at the gathering, but the attention in the room centered on Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. She was described as being within reach of a Senate victory, though no polling figures or other measures of her standing were provided.
Nixon’s presence as a DSA member adds a distinctive element to her statewide political profile. The gathering in Boynton Beach underscored the interest she is drawing, but the available details do not establish how competitive the Senate race is or what is driving her support.
