Local queer fitness icon workoutericanix aims to keep ATX weird, queer, and affordable.
has a lot of thoughts on the city’s future. She’s expressed those thoughts through performance art as well as recent feature-length film– but that’s not enough anymore. Now, Nix is taking her first neon leg-warmer clad step downNix is the first to admit she’s still learning a lot about the civic process, and she hasn’t yet filed her official campaign documents. But that quest to understand what’s going on in Bat City is actually what inspired her campaign.
Running for mayor is Nix’s way of fighting back against that fate. Not only does she, as her campaign slogan says, “need a job” but she also wants the queer and trans community to be provided for in a way current politicians haven’t materialized. An issue she brings up that would factor into her mayoral ambitions would be getting an LGBTQ community resource center in Austin.
“When I first moved here,” Nix says over email in the wake of the Lucy news, “people were always bringing up Liberty Lunch as this huge music and cultural venue loss. For my generation of Austinites the list is growing so fast, we hardly recognize our city.” On one hand, she says, she might have to stay in a constant state of grieving for the culture being lost when local businesses shutter, but these experiences also fuel her mayoral ambitions even more.
“I don't know how to talk like a politician,” she admits. “It's hard for me to stay on the issue I care about most because what I really care about is the city of Austin as a whole.” Having given up relationships to stay in ATX, Nix says that the current moment makes her wonder if she made the right choice. Maybe, someday, she’ll have to stick a Pride flag in some other city.
