After indictment & resignation, Cherfilus-McCormick asks voters to return her to Congress

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is asking voters to return her to Congress — less than four months after she resigned from the House of Representatives. Cherfilus-McCormick is one of five Democrats seeking her party’s nomination in the reconfigured Broward County 20th Congressional District in the Aug. 18 primary. The district is so overwhelmingly Democratic — President Donald Trump finished 39 points behind Kamala Harris in the 2024 election — that the winner of the congressional primary is all-but-guaranteed to win the November election. In April, Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from the House. A bipartisan adjudicatory subcommittee found she committed 25 ethics violations. And she faces federal criminal charges. On the campaign trail, Cherfilus-McCormick has asserted from the debate stage, in media interviews and in conversations with voters that she’s done nothing wrong. Instead, Cherfilus-McCormick is telling voters she is the victim of politically motivated investigations, a description that echoes the claims Trump made about the investigations into his conduct before he was elected to a second term in 2024.
