Nicole Locklin

Our government is supposed to work for the people, not for corporations or politicians who sell us out.‍Florida families are doing everything right and still falling behind. Insurance costs keep rising. Housing feels out of reach. Healthcare is a constant worry. Powerful interests keep getting exactly what they want at the expense of the people.‍Nicole Locklin is running for Congress to take on corruption, plain and simple. She doesn’t take corporate or foreign PAC money, and she believes our tax dollars should make life more affordable, not line the pockets of the billionaires and corporate elites. That means investing in what actually keeps communities safe and strong: good schools, affordable healthcare, disaster preparedness, and job creation. It means demanding accountability, transparency, and a government that answers to voters, not donors.You don't have to agree with Nicole on every issue. You just have to believe your representative won’t lie to you or sell you out. You have to believe your representative is out there fighting for you, always. You have to believe that your representative knows the law and can pass meaningful legislation. Nicole wants to represent you and your needs.‍Government for the people, not the powerful few.

Here in Florida's 26th district, they decided to build a detention center, “Alligator Alcatraz”, in the heart of one of the most fragile ecosystems in America: the Everglades. The Everglades are not just a landscape. They are the source of drinking water for millions of Floridians. They are home to rare wildlife and ecosystems that exist nowhere else on earth.People detained at “Alligator Alcatraz” describe overflowing toilets near sleeping areas, constant lighting, insects, poor food and water, lack of privacy, inadequate medical care, and the use of a tiny punishment cage known as “the box.” These are very serious allegations about how our government is treating people in its custody. This matters more because I.C.E. has documented case of detaining U.S. citizens.More than $406M was pulled from the state of Florida's emergency response fund since August 2025. This is money that would otherwise go toward disaster preparedness/relief. Florida has sustained damage from a major hurricane (Category 3+) in 2022, 2023, and 2024, but caught a break in 2025.‍Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What is happening to Palestinians is not something the United States should be explaining away, minimizing, or funding. Our campaign is not afraid to condemn the horrific actions of October 7th and also the subsequent genocide. We do not support killing civilians anywhere, by anyone, for any reason. An act of terrorism is not a pardon for future crimes against humanity. We will always fight on the side of preserving life and liberty, and we believe it is important to hold people accountable for their actions, especially when it leads to the death of civilians.The scale of death, displacement, and destruction in Gaza has been documented by the United Nations, major human rights organizations, and international courts. UN bodies and leading rights groups have continued to warn that the pattern of conduct in Gaza is consistent with genocide. This is not an opinion formed in a vacuum: - Amnesty International concluded in December 2024 that Israel “has committed and is continuing to commit genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza. - Human Rights Watch concluded that Israeli authorities were responsible for the crime against humanity of extermination and for acts of genocide through the deliberate deprivation of water, and said the pattern of conduct may amount to genocide. - United Nations experts have repeatedly warned of ongoing genocide in Gaza and described the destruction of civilian life, schools, hospitals, and basic infrastructure in terms that no serious government should ignore. The human toll is staggering. Reuters reported in February 2025 that Gaza health authorities said more than 47,000 Palestinians had been killed, while UNICEF and OCHA have continued to document the enormous toll on children, repeated mass displacement, and the destruction of the conditions needed to sustain civilian life. More recent reporting has put the total death toll since October 2023 above 72,000. OCHA has also continued to report worsening displacement and violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including rising settler attacks and large-scale forced displacement in 2026. A serious American response has to begin with one basic principle: we must not be complicit. That means the United States cannot keep sending weapons, ammunition, and diplomatic cover while claiming clean hands. Reuters reported that in February 2025 the Trump administration approved about $7.4 billion in military sales to Israel, including munitions, guidance kits, fuses, and Hellfire missiles. When American weapons, American money, and American political protection continue flowing amid overwhelming evidence of mass civilian harm, the United States is not a bystander. It is choosing involvement. Nicole Locklin’s position is simple and lawful: no blank checks for war crimes, no military aid used in violation of human rights, no immunity for officials because they are allied with Washington, and no pretending that this is too complicated to name. If there is credible evidence of genocide, apartheid, extermination, collective punishment, forced displacement, or starvation of civilians, then the United States has a duty under both domestic law and international law to stop facilitating it. That means immediate transparency on what weapons are being transferred, strict human-rights conditions on aid, full enforcement of existing U.S. law, and support for independent investigations and accountability mechanisms. This is not about being anti-Israeli or anti-anyone. It is about being pro-law, pro-humanity, and unwilling to accept a world in which children are buried under rubble, hospitals are destroyed, aid is obstructed, and entire families are erased while the most powerful country on earth looks the other way.

What happened in the case of Jeffrey Epstein was not just a crime, it was a systemic failure that wreaks of corruption. A trafficking network operated for years. Victims came forward. Warning signs were ignored. And the most powerful people in the world were never fully held accountable. That should outrage every American, no matter your politics, because this isn’t about left or right, it’s about whether justice applies to everyone, or only to those without power.As a lawyer, I believe in evidence, due process, and accountability. But I also know that justice does not stop at the first conviction, and it does not stop when a case becomes uncomfortable or politically inconvenient. If crimes were committed by anyone, left, right, rich, or connected, they must be fully investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That includes those who enabled trafficking, those who obstructed justice, and anyone who used their power or influence to avoid accountability. No exceptions. No special rules.Cases like this expose a deeper problem: a system that too often protects the powerful. Prosecutors cut deals they shouldn’t. Institutions look the other way. Wealth and influence distort outcomes. That is not justice, that is corruption. And let me be clear: accountability cannot stop with one conviction or one defendant. Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted for her role in enabling abuse, and her sentence must be fully enforced, without special treatment, without backroom deals, and without preferential conditions because of who she knows. The victims in this case were shown no mercy, and the justice system must reflect that seriousness. That means secure confinement, full transparency, and continued investigation into anyone else who participated in or enabled these crimes. Justice does not bend for wealth or connections; Nicole will show strength where others turn a blind eye.We need real accountability and real transparency. That means enforcing and strengthening federal trafficking laws, including statutes like 18 U.S.C. § 1591, ensuring that those who enable or facilitate abuse are held responsible, and guaranteeing victims their rights under laws like the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3771. It means ending backroom non-prosecution agreements, requiring independent review of major federal cases, removing statutes of limitations for child exploitation crimes, and using Congress’s full oversight authority, including subpoena power, when agencies fail to act.Most importantly, this is about justice for the victims. They were ignored. They were dismissed. And they were failed by a system that should have protected them. We owe them more than outrage, we owe them the truth, and we owe them accountability.‍I’m Nicole Locklin. I don’t care how rich you are, how powerful you are, or what party you belong to. If you break the law, you should be held accountable.

Family caregivers hold our health-care system together. They help loved ones bathe, eat, travel to medical appointments, manage prescriptions, and remain safely at home. Too often, caregivers spend their own money and reduce their work hours without receiving meaningful assistance. This is personal to me. When my brother experienced serious heart problems, I saw how quickly a medical crisis affects an entire family. Caregiving is an act of love, but love should not require someone to sacrifice their own financial security. One of my first actions in Congress will be to support the bipartisan Credit for Caring Act. It would provide eligible working family caregivers with a federal tax credit of up to $5,000 for expenses such as home care, transportation, medical supplies, respite care, and home modifications.I will also support: • Paid family and medical leave • Social Security credits for people who leave or reduce paid work to provide care • More respite-care and adult day-care funding • Easier access to home- and community-based care • Better training and assistance for caregivers navigating federal programs • Strong funding for Meals on Wheels and the Older Americans Act • Protection of Medicaid-funded long-term careWhenever it is safe and appropriate, seniors should be able to remain in their own homes instead of being forced into institutional care. Supporting family caregivers is one of the most effective ways to make that possible.
