A charity controlled by Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon raised more than $270,000 in 2024, tax-exempt funds that Nixon said she would use to support Cafe Resistance, the black power-themed bookstore and coffee shop she was launching in Jacksonville.

But when Nixon opened the shop that same year, she placed it under the control of her for-profit LLC, and whatever became of the charitable fortune she raised in 2024 is now a mystery.

How We See It

New Republican Times Editorial Board

Angie Nixon raised $270,000 through a tax-exempt charity to fund Cafe Resistance, her black power-themed bookstore and coffee shop in Jacksonville. Then she opened the shop under her for-profit LLC, and somehow the charitable windfall has become a black box. That's not a conservative talking point. That's a basic accounting question that should bother anyone who gave her a dollar.

Democrats love to talk about transparency and equity, but this is what it looks like when they're the ones holding the bag. The money was raised as a charitable donation, promised for a specific project, and then the project quietly landed under a business structure that gives Nixon control and the public none. The left's standards only seem to apply to everyone else. If a Republican pulled this, the scrutiny would be deafening. We're supposed to trust that the money went somewhere good, just because the cause had a political flavor.

Nixon is running for Senate in Florida, so this isn't some obscure local footnote. Voters deserve to know whether those donations financed a cafe or something less savory. She can fix this in five minutes by releasing a simple accounting. Until she does, the mystery is the story. And it's a fair one to tell.
