Former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., filed for re-election just days before resigning amid congressional and federal probes for allegedly mismanaging disaster relief funds for personal gain. On April 17, she submitted her candidacy notice to the Florida Department of State, shortly before resigning. Her resignation coincided with an impending recommendation for punishment from the House Ethics Committee for multiple violations, including 18 campaign finance infractions and misuse of official funds. Cherfilus-McCormick proclaimed her innocence but opted to step away from Congress to focus on fighting for her constituents, citing unfair treatment in the Ethics Committee. #CampaignFinance #DisasterReliefFRAUD #PoliticalProbe #FloridaPolitics #EthicsCommittee #FundMismanagement #CongressionalEthics #Election2024 #PublicAccountability #PoliticalIntegrity https://www.foxnews.com/politics/florida-dem-filed-reelection-days-before-resignation-house-ethics-committee-ramped-up-pressure
