In response to the Florida Senate president’s remarks on the most pressing issue Floridians are facing being the cost of housing, Florida State Representative Angie Nixon (D-Jacksonville) issued the following statement:
“The Senate President’s remarks today affirm what Democrats in Florida have been advocating for years. From demanding a fully funded affordable housing trust fund to calling for a housing state of emergency, we have been fighting every step of the way to address Florida’s unique and acute housing crisis. Real solutions were needed yesterday and folks can count on us to demand that legislative leaders consider all Floridians, no matter their zip code, their background, or where they’re from, in crafting new laws. Housing is one of the most important issues and we must get this right.”
