A special subcommittee has been formed to investigate whether Florida Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick violated campaign finance laws in a 2022 special election or broke House rules while running her official office, leaders of the House Ethics Committee said Wednesday.
A bipartisan panel of four of her House colleagues will review campaign finance allegations connected to Cherfilus-McCormick’s’s 2022 special election victory and a reelection campaign later in 2022, according to the statement from the committee’s chairman, Michael Guest, R-Miss., and ranking member, Susan Wild, D-Pa.
The panel also will look at whether Cherfilus-McCormick “failed to properly disclose required information on statements required to be filed with the House; and/or accepted voluntary services for official work from an individual not employed in her congressional office.”
