DISGRACE: Dem Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Resigns from Congress
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) stepped down from Congress on Tuesday, moments before the House Ethics Committee was set to consider sanctions as she continues to fight a pending federal criminal case.
Cherfilus-McCormick announced her resignation in a statement posted early Tuesday afternoon and later submitted a formal resignation letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson..............
Cherfilus-McCormick's formal resignation letter to Johnson stated, "I hereby resign my office from the 119th Congress as Representative for Florida's 20th Congressional District, effective Tuesday April 21, 2026; 1:30pm."............................
The resignation came after months of mounting legal and ethics issues. A federal grand jury in Miami indicted Cherfilus-McCormick in November 2025, alleging she and her brother, Edwin Cherfilus, diverted a $5 million FEMA overpayment tied to a 2021 COVID-19 vaccination contract through their family company, Trinity Health Care Services.
