US EditionEthics investigation into Florida U.S. House Democrat ongoing
- The House Ethics Committee has been investigating Florida Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick for potential campaign finance violations since early 2023 related to her 2022 elections in the 20th Congressional District.
- The probe began amid allegations that Cherfilus-McCormick accepted improper campaign contributions, failed to file disclosures, and misused community project funding, with the investigation expanding in June 2024 to include 2024 re-election activities.
- The Office of Congressional Conduct issued a May 2024 report finding substantial reason to believe she directed funds to a for-profit entity and accepted unreported in-kind contributions connected to official actions, while dismissing some claims of favoritism or misreporting.
- The OCC Board stated there is "probable cause" Cherfilus-McCormick violated House rules and federal law, though the Ethics Committee emphasized that the investigation's continuation does not imply confirmed wrongdoing.
- Cherfilus-McCormick has denied any wrongdoing, pledged full cooperation, and remains under review as the Committee prepares next steps in the ongoing inquiry chaired by Republican Michael Guest and Democrat Mark DeSaulnier.
