Rare Public Hearing to Examine Ethics Violations by Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick

Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, March 26, 2026 —

Washington, D.C. – A rare public hearing is set to take place in Washington to scrutinize alleged ethics violations by Florida Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. The House Ethics Committee has compiled a 242-page report outlining 27 violations, which include campaign-finance infractions and the use of her office to benefit allies.

Cherfilus-McCormick faces federal charges for allegedly stealing $5 million in COVID-19 relief funds. Republican lawmakers have threatened an expulsion vote, which would require a two-thirds majority. The hearing is part of a two-year investigation that has now been made public.

The outcome of the hearing could have significant political consequences ahead of the November elections.
