House ethics panel finds strong evidence Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick misused $6M in FEMA funds for her campaign.
The House Ethics Committee has found "substantial evidence" that Florida Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick violated federal law and House rules, according to a January 2026 report.
The findings support federal fraud charges alleging she misused nearly $6 million in FEMA disaster funds—intended for her family’s health care company—to finance her 2021 congressional campaign.
The report details 27 alleged violations, including improper fund transfers, false financial disclosures, and a straw donor scheme.
The case now moves to the full Ethics Committee for potential disciplinary action.
Cherfilus-McCormick denies wrongdoing and has requested a pause to the ethics probe while her criminal case proceeds.
