The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), a conservative government watchdog, filed a complaint on Monday against Angie Nixon, a state legislator and candidate for U.S.Senate in Florida backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), alleging that she may have violated "a number of Florida and federal laws."The complaint asks authorities to probe whether she used her now-defunct nonprofit, the Moxie Group Inc., to benefit herself.
It comes as Nixon wages an uphill race to unseat Sen.Ashley Moody, R-Fla.Nixon's campaign disputes the characterizations, noting that Nixon's involvement with the nonprofit ended in December 2025 when she resigned as its principal manager.
The Moxie Group was initially intended to receive federal tax-exempt contributions for a community project named Café Resistance, a community-oriented bookstore and coffee shop in Jacksonville.NLPC is asking the Federal Election Commission, the IRS, the U.S.Attorney’s Office and the Florida attorney general to investigate the Moxie Group along four lines: 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.DEFEATED PROGRESSIVE ‘SQUAD’ LAWMAKER IN HOT SEAT FOR NON-PROFIT’S MISSING PAPER TRAILDemocratic U.S.
