一家伦理监督组织于周三向总检察长托德·布兰奇提交刑事举报,要求调查佛罗里达州民主党联邦参议员候选人安吉·尼克松。举报称,她涉嫌向参议院提交虚假财务披露报告,违反《政府道德法》。
An ethics watchdog group filed a criminal referral to Attorney General Todd Blanche on Wednesday demanding an investigation into Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon for allegedly filing a false financial disclosure to the Senate in violation of the Ethics in Government Act.
据《华盛顿自由灯塔报》报道,尼克松2025年通过 various jobs and investments? Need translate all. 她从各种工作和投资中至少获得了27万美元的收入。她于8月31日以州议员身份向佛罗里达州提交的财务披露报告显示,除1.76万美元未偿还的联邦学生贷款外,她还欠美国国税局近1.4万美元未缴税款。对于任何查阅过她同日提交给美国参议院的另一份财务披露报告的人来说,她拖欠税款和 student loan 的情况都会被发现,因为那份报告完全没有提及这些债务。
Nixon, who earned at least $270,000 from her various jobs and investments in 2025, reported in her financial disclosures—submitted to the State of Florida on August 31 in her capacity as a state lawmaker—that she owes nearly $14,000 in unpaid taxes to the IRS on top of $17,600 in unpaid federal student loans, the Washington Free Beacon reported. Nixon's tax and student loan delinquency would be news to anyone who reviewed the other financial disclosure she filed on August 31 with the U.S. Senate, which omitted any reference to those debts. Nixon's omission from her Senate financial disclosure could land her on the wrong side of federal laws that require candidates to publicly disclose any debts over $10,000, according to the National Legal and Policy Center, the conservative ethics watchdog group that filed the criminal referral to Blanche on Wednesday.
据这家保守派伦理监督组织——国家法律与政策中心——介绍,联邦法律规定候选人必须公开披露任何超过1万美元的债务,而尼克松在参议院财务披露报告中遗漏相关债务,可能因此触犯联邦法律。该组织于周三向布兰奇提交了刑事举报。
"It's clear that Nixon’s failure to list the two liabilities was no mere oversight but constitutes a knowing and willful filing of false financial disclosure reports," the National Legal and Policy Center wrote in its complaint, adding that it "demands prompt civil and criminal enforcement against Angie Nixon for her flagrant violations of the Ethics in Government Act's financial disclosure requirements."
“显而易见,尼克松未列出这两项负债绝非仅仅是疏忽,而是构成了蓄意且明知故犯的虚假财务披露报告,”国家法律与政策中心在投诉中写道,并补充称其“要求对安吉·尼克松公然违反《政府道德法》财务披露要求的行为,立即采取民事和刑事执法行动”。尽管尼克松——一位主张对亿万富翁征收5%年度财富税的缴费型民主社会主义者——在参议院财务披露报告中隐瞒了其税款和学生贷款拖欠情况,但她并未回避在公开场合谈论这些债务。
Though Nixon, a dues-paying Democratic Socialist who wants to institute a 5 percent annual wealth tax on billionaires, omitted her tax and student loan delinquency from her Senate financial disclosure report, she hasn't shied away from talking about the debts in public. During a podcast interview in July, Nixon lamented the injustice of being on a payment plan to pay her back taxes after raking in well over five times the median income of the average American in 2025.
在7月份的一次播客采访中,尼克松抱怨称,尽管她在2025年的收入远超美国人平均收入的五倍,却仍需通过分期付款来偿还欠税,这很不公平。
"Your girl over here is on a payment plan to pay the IRS $12,000 back," Nixon said during a podcast interview in July.
“你们的女孩现在正通过分期付款向国税局偿还1.2万美元,”尼克松在7月的播客采访中说道。“听着,我虽然没赚到1050亿美元,但你们却让我向联邦政府支付1.2万美元?真的吗?我们这是在干什么?而且他们已经扣除了一部分税款。我已经支付了超过1万美元。这简直太疯狂了。”至于她未偿还的学生贷款债务,尼克松已声明她不会偿还。
"And listen, I ain't made $105 billion, but you making me pay $12,000 to the feds? Like, really? That's what we're doing? And they already took some of the taxes away anyway. I paid over $10,000. It's just, it is crazy." And as for her unpaid student loan debt, Nixon has declared she won't repay it.
2024年10月,当国会结束疫情期间的学生贷款暂停偿还政策时,尼克松在Facebook上宣称,她“没必要”偿还教育债务。
In October 2024, when Congress ended the pandemic-era student loan moratorium, Nixon declared on Facebook she was "above" paying back her educational debts.
“亲爱的学生贷款,我现在没必要管它了,”尼克松写道。“我不想偿还。教育本应是免费的。”尼克松在8月的初选中爆冷击败了建制派民主党人亚历克斯·温德曼,尽管她的竞选支出仅为对方的十六分之一。她现在面临一场艰苦的选战,将在特别选举中对阵现任共和党参议员阿什利·穆迪,以完成马可·鲁比奥国务卿此前担任该席位的任期(该任期始于2023年1月)。周二发布的一项民调显示,尼克松落后穆迪7个百分点。尼克松竞选团队未回应置评请求。
"Dear Student Loans. It's above me now," Nixon wrote. "I don't wanna pay it back. Education supposed to be free." Nixon won her primary in August in a shock upset over establishment Democrat Alex Vindman despite being outspent 16 to 1. She now faces an uphill battle against incumbent GOP senator Ashley Moody in a special election to close out the term of the seat previously held by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, which started in January 2023. A poll released Tuesday found Nixon trailing Moody by 7 points. The Nixon campaign did not return a request for comment.
