US Senate Candidate Angie Nixon Calls for International Cooperation [for Cuba]
https://angienixon.com/u-s-senate-candidate-angie-nixon-calls-for-international-cooperation-as-cuba-faces-third-major-blackout-of-the-year/

July 8, 2026

JACKSONVILLE, FL – Following the nationwide power outage in #Cuba, the third major blackout this year, #USSenate candidate and State Representative [#Florida] #AngieNixon released the following statement:

...which is a direct result of decades of a #US #blockade and policies that intentionally starve the island of the resources the people need. Politicians in Washington continue to play political games with human lives, using collective punishment that hurts Cuban families...

Local businesses lose inventory and revenue, hospitals strain to provide lifesaving care, and everyday Cubans are left to navigate a life without access to power...

... We must all work together, nationally and internationally, to help the Cuban people and lift the cruel restrictions blocking fuel, food, and lifesaving #medical equipment from reaching the island.

We all know that's some BS."
