Democratic Senate hopeful Angie Nixon took home $70,000 this year from an obscure firm run by an anti-ICE activist, money her campaign won't explain.
Washington Free Beacon reporting shows Building Blocks Strategies paid Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon at least $70,000 in personal wage income this year for services that remain unknown.
The same firm paid her $20,000 in 2025, bringing the total to $90,000 between 2025 and August 2026. Nixon draws no salary from her campaign. She, the firm’s founder, her campaign treasurer, and the union that funds the company all declined to answer questions.
Nixon is a longtime socialist who formally joined the Democratic Socialists of America in June. She sits in the Florida House and is running statewide while maintaining deep ties to left-wing advocacy networks that fight immigration enforcement and bankroll political consulting shops.
Building Blocks Strategies was founded in 2022 by Katherine Boswell. Virginia records list a residential address in Reston for the incorporation. The company has no website and no social media presence. It is not registered as a business entity in Florida, even though its work appears centered there.
Its informal base is a shared workspace in a low-rise Miami office building that also houses other progressive groups. The Miami chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is registered to the same address.
The firm’s only known client is the Florida Public Service Union, or FPSU, a West Palm Beach labor organization affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. Federal labor filings show FPSU has paid Building Blocks Strategies and Boswell a combined $110,975 since 2022. The union classified the spending as consulting under “general overhead.”
Nixon reported the payments as personal wage income on her state financial disclosure. What work she performed is not described. The Nixon campaign, Boswell, and FPSU did not respond to requests for comment.
Before launching the firm, Boswell spent five years as a senior executive at United We Dream, a Washington-based group focused on illegal immigrant youth known as Dreamers. The organization has a history of disruptive protests.
In January 2018, protesters affiliated with the group stormed a U.S. Senate office building wearing orange hats. Two months later, they tried to force their way into then-House Speaker Paul Ryan’s office. Dozens of arrests followed.
Boswell’s husband serves as political director for the American Federation of Teachers. That detail places another major left-wing institution inside the same tight circle of money and activism surrounding Nixon’s recent income.
David Geller serves as Nixon’s campaign treasurer, according to Federal Election Commission filings. He is also the registered agent for Lost Minds Media, a company Boswell founded in December 2025 and based in the same Miami building.
Lost Minds Media previously described itself as a collective of content creators in the South working on political campaigns. After the Free Beacon contacted Geller on Sept. 21, the company’s website was wiped and replaced with an “under construction” notice. Geller did not respond to questions.
Geller is likewise the registered agent for EJB Strategies. FPSU has paid that firm $211,750 for consulting since 2019. Florida Rising Together, an activist organization Nixon helped lead over the past four years, has paid EJB Strategies at least $409,159 for consulting since 2021.
The same small group of names keeps appearing on the paperwork: Boswell founding the companies, Geller handling registrations and Nixon’s campaign money, and FPSU and allied groups writing the checks.
Nixon built her career as a union organizer with FPSU. She has not reported income from the union since 2021. Her campaign website until recently stated she “currently” directs the union’s higher education program. That page was removed last week after scrutiny.
In at least one news interview she called herself a “former union organizer.” The late FPSU leader Alphonso Mayfield was described as her mentor and “biggest champion.” Nixon told a local paper he helped map out her strategy to run for Senate before he died.
Federal candidates who are not incumbents may legally draw a salary from their campaigns. Nixon has chosen not to. Instead, the wage income arrives from the Boswell firm whose principal client is the union that shaped her political career.
A government watchdog filed a criminal referral with the Department of Justice earlier this year. It asked for an investigation into Nixon’s failure to disclose various liabilities on federal financial forms, including $14,000 in unpaid taxes owed to the IRS.
Her reported net worth has swung sharply: negative $100,752 in 2022, a positive $12,852 in 2023, then negative figures of both $256,000 and $22,930 at different points in 2024, before landing near break-even in 2025. The new wage income arrives against that backdrop.
Nixon has also made a practice of high-visibility protest inside state government. In 2022 she organized a sit-in on the Florida House floor while wearing a “Stop the Black Attack” T-shirt over congressional maps. Leadership formally reprimanded her.
This past April she marched into the chamber with a pink bullhorn to oppose redistricting maps, then staged a five-hour sit-in inside Gov. Ron DeSantis’s office. She was arrested on trespassing and resisting charges. Those charges were later dropped after she agreed to pay a small fine and complete community service hours.
Nixon founded the Jacksonville-based nonprofit Moxie Group. Its revenue has risen, yet most expenses appear as “other” on state filings. The group failed to file federal tax forms that were due last year.
She also operates Cafe Resistance, a for-profit venture in a Jacksonville shopping-mall parking lot. Free Beacon reporting described the site as black-power-themed and said it contains a shrine to black convicted cop-killers. Nixon has not publicly detailed how these projects relate to the consulting wages or her Senate bid.
Building Blocks Strategies continues to list no public explanation of the services Nixon provided. FPSU continues to book its payments to the firm as general overhead. The campaign continues to offer no comment.
Florida voters now evaluating Nixon for the U.S. Senate are left with a simple set of facts: tens of thousands of dollars in personal wages, an opaque company, an anti-ICE activist founder, a union pipeline, a treasurer who overlaps the paperwork, wiped websites after press inquiries, and official silence from every party involved.
Taxpayers and lawful residents deserve straight answers on who pays their would-be senators and for what. So far Nixon’s network has given them none.
