Embattled Florida Democrat Resigns Congress, Pursues Reelection

Florida Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress ahead of an expulsion vote after the House Ethics Committee found she embezzled FEMA COVID-19 funds; she faces 15 DOJ charges, including theft and money laundering, with a potential sentence of up to 53 years, though she denies wrongdoing. Four days before resigning, she filed to run for reelection in Florida’s 20th District, in a Democratic primary field that includes Luther Campbell, Mark Douglas, Maisha Williams, Dale Holness, and Elijah Manley.

Ex-Creshien? Correction: New title

Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress after a House Ethics Committee probe found 25 ethics violations, including misusing disaster relief funds for her campaign and purchasing luxury items such as a $109,000 three-car​at yellow diamond ring. She says she’s innocent and framed the probe as a witch hunt, stepping down just before an expulsion vote was to occur. She also faces federal charges for diverting FEMA disaster funds; that trial has been postponed to February 2027, with potential penalties up to 53 years in prison if convicted.

Cherfilus-McCormick Faces Rare Public Ethics Trial Over FEMA Funds

The House Ethics Committee will hold a rare public adjudicatory hearing to determine whether Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick violated federal law and House rules in a scheme involving a $5 million FEMA overpayment and campaign-finance irregularities, with possible expulsion if findings are upheld. Cherfilus-McCormick has pleaded not guilty to 15 counts, and the outcome will depend on the subcommittee’s findings and the ongoing criminal case.
