Watchdog questions where DSA candidate’s money went — charity, business and campaign finances under scrutiny

A conservative government watchdog is claiming a DSA-backed candidate in Florida may have violated some laws.

The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) has filed a complaint against Angie Nixon, a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) supported candidate, requesting that authorities probe whether she used funds from a now-defunct non-profit to enrich herself.

They are calling on the IRS, FEC, U.S. Attorney’s Office, and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier to look into Moxie Group Inc. and Nixon to determine “unaccounted-for charitable expenses, overlap between the nonprofit and a for-profit business, whether it solicited donations even after the group was disbanded and whether Nixon’s use of her business space for campaign purposes violates federal campaign restrictions,” Fox News reported.

“While she itemized some of the charity’s expenses … a whopping $210,000 … was simply listed as ‘other’ with no description or itemization of what those funds were spent for even though the form requires the charity to ‘list item’ for those ‘other’ expenses. What happened to all that money?” the complaint reads.

Two large disbursements, one of $42,560 and another of $68,304, were listed as “program services.” A payment of $3,437 was listed under “management & general.”

Nixon’s campaign rejects the characterizations in the complaint, pointing out that the candidate left the non-profit in 2025 after serving as its principal manager.

“Although the charity was ostensibly established to raise funds for a local community bookstore/café, the license for that establishment was transferred to her for-profit The Moxie Group LLC DBA Café Resistance Bookstore and Coffee Shop,” the complaint continues.

“It appears that the Café Resistance and Bookstore has been functioning as the candidate’s campaign de facto headquarters or a branch thereof. Indeed, Café Resistance is hosting a phone bank operation on its premises,” it adds.
