Cherfilus-McCormick resigns as ethics sanctions hearing looms
TL;DR
Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned minutes before a House Ethics Committee sanctions hearing over a long-running ethics probe, ending the committee’s jurisdiction and any immediate sanction action. Her departure removes a looming floor vote on expulsion and shifts the vacancy to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to schedule a special election. She faces a separate criminal case related to alleged improper handling of FEMA overpayments and campaign funds, which she has denied.
