Nixon, Frost, Eskamani urge young voters to back progressive policies at UCF town hall
The event was a student-focused town hall hosted by More Perfect Union at the University of Central Florida one day before the 2026 election. It featured musical performances, student speakers from Angie Nixon's youth program, and speeches by state Rep. Anna Eskamani, Rep. Maxwell Frost, and U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon. Speakers emphasized youth turnout, the cost of living, access to education and healthcare, environmental protection, and the need to flip Florida from Republican control. Audience questions addressed holding corrupt officials accountable and economic policies; responses stressed voting, organizing, and electing leaders with integrity like Nixon. Sourcing relied on personal stories, campaign talking points, and references to a leaked grand jury report on the Hope Florida scandal. No Republican perspectives or independent experts were included. The throughline was that young people are engaged and that progressive policies can create an affordable Florida serving the 99% rather than elites.
