Property taxes Mixed / neutral· based on record
Mixed. Nix voted for HJR 1-F in the June 2026 special session, which put Amendment 3 on the ballot. At an October 2026 North Port event he said the amendment shifts costs to fees rather than cutting taxes, raised concerns about first responders and local bond ratings, and would not tell voters how to vote on it.
"There’s never been a tax cut I didn’t love. But this isn’t a tax cut. It’s tax shift."
Immigration Strongly agrees· based on record
Voted yes on SB 2-C (2025), which created the State Board of Immigration Enforcement, required state help with federal detainers, barred driver licenses for unauthorized immigrants, and funded an Unauthorized Alien Transport Program.
Guns Strongly disagrees· based on record
Voted yes on HB 759 (March 26, 2025) and voted yes on HB 133 (Jan. 15, 2026); both bills would have lowered the minimum age to buy a rifle from 21 to 18; each passed the House and died in the Senate.
Elections & voting Strongly disagrees· based on record
Voted yes on CS/CS/HB 991 when it passed the House on Feb. 25, 2026 and yes on final House passage March 12, 2026.
