I am Nina Taylor — a Captain Firefighter with Birmingham Fire and Rescue, Union President, founder of CPRIQ, and founder of Special Toys for Special Kids, a nonprofit serving children with special needs. Born in Fairfield and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, I have spent 22 years serving District 60 not as a politician, but as a neighbor, a first responder, a labor leader, and an entrepreneur who reinvests in this community. I am running for Alabama House District 60 because this community deserves a representative who understands struggle, knows how to fight, and will always put people over politics.
  • 22 years of real service — on the front lines and in the community. As a Captain Firefighter with Birmingham Fire and Rescue, Union President, and founder of CPRIQ, I have spent over two decades running toward problems and building solutions. District 60 needs that same fearless dedication in the State House.
  • Independent leadership rooted in people power. As a union leader and entrepreneur, I know the difference between being bought and being backed by the people. My campaign is powered by working families, not political insiders and my loyalty will always be to the residents of District 60.
  • District 60 deserves a fighter who shows up for everyone including our most vulnerable. As founder of Special Toys for Special Kids, I know that real leadership means no one gets left behind. I will bring that same commitment to every decision I make in the State House.
Affordability and cost of living as working families in District 60 deserve to keep more of what they earn. Public safety and emergency preparedness. Workers’ rights and labor protections. Education and workforce development. Support services for children with special needs and their families. Small business growth in underserved communities.

I am an advocate for the people.
  • I’ve been a public servant for 19 years as a Captain Firefighter. This allows me to expand my knowledge of handling issues on a larger platform
  • Elected leadership should be a ingrained in the communities they serve. This helps with accountability and sound decision making.
  • Voting is instrumental in shaving the right person represent you. As a representative my vote will reflect the voice and needs of the people.
The voting rights act is supported by me as well as building the middle class . The cost of living has increased yet minimum wages have remained stagnant. I believe we need a stronger base of people that can earn a livable wage while finding innovative ways to lower the cost of higher education. Fixing our infrastructure is a large task however, with fresh ideas and proper investments we can build a stronger Alabama.
Often we as humans fail to pass the baton to others so they too may learn and succeed. I would love to leave a legacy where people are motivated to pass the baton.
My first job was a nurse aide in high school. As a sophomore I wanted to help and we had an available co op program. It allowed us to leave school and work 3 days a week. I also worked for my mom as a data entry clerk. I held both jobs simultaneously for two years until graduation. They supplied me with contrasting skills that I rely on today and will never forget.
This relationship should be an effective checks and balances. It should be one that ensures goals, policies and legislative activities are accomplished and implemented in a positive way
Compromise is necessary in everyday life so it’s inevitable that compromises MUST be made for desirable policy making. I am a proponent of effective compromise.
