District

Source: Wikipedia

Florida’s 20th congressional district is a U.S. congressional district in Southeast Florida. It is currently held by Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who was elected in a January 2022 special election, following the death of Alcee Hastings on April 6, 2021.[5] With a Cook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI) rating of D+25, it is one of the most Democratic districts in Florida.[4]

The district includes most of the majority-Black precincts in and around western and central Broward County and small portion of southeastern Palm Beach County, including places like North Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, Tamarac, Lake Park, Riviera Beach, Plantation, and Dania Beach, along with parts of Pompano Beach, and Sunrise. It also includes a vast area inland to the southeastern shores of Lake Okeechobee, including the community of Belle Glade. The district also includes Palm Beach International Airport. In the 2020 redistricting cycle, the city of Miramar was redrawn out of the district and into the 24th and 25th districts instead.

From 1993 to 2013, the 20th district took in parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties. The district was based in Fort Lauderdale and included many of its suburbs including Davie. Most of that district is now the 23rd district, while the current 20th covers most of what was the 23rd district from 1993 to 2013.

The district is one of two majority-Black districts in Florida. The current representative, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, is the first Haitian-American woman elected to Congress from Florida.[6]

Wikipedia

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (née Cherfilus; /ˈʃɜːrfɪləs/ SHUR-fill-əss; born January 25, 1979) is an American politician and businesswoman who served as the U.S. representative for Florida’s 20th congressional district from 2022 until her resignation in 2026. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

After the death of Representative Alcee Hastings in 2021, Cherfilus-McCormick was elected in a January 2022 special election to complete the remainder of his unexpired term. She was elected to a full term in November 2022 and was re-elected in 2024.

In November 2025, Cherfilus-McCormick was indicted and charged with laundering $5 million in COVID-19 relief funds and using those funds for a congressional campaign. If convicted, she faces up to 53 years in prison. An investigation conducted by the House Ethics Committee found Cherfilus-McCormick guilty of 25 out of 27 charges. On April 21, 2026, Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress minutes before a hearing on her potential expulsion.

Early life, education, and early career

Cherfilus-McCormick was born on January 25, 1979,[2] in Brooklyn, New York, to parents from Haiti.[3] She spent her childhood in Brooklyn and Queens[4] before moving to Hollywood, Florida at 13 to attend high school.[5] She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and government from Howard University and a Juris Doctor from the St. Thomas University School of Law.[6]

After graduating from college, Cherfilus-McCormick was a project manager for the New York City Transit Authority. From 1999 to 2007, she worked as the vice president for operations of Trinity Health Care Services, a Florida-based family home health care company co-founded by her stepfather, Gabriel Smith. She later served as the company’s CEO.[7]

2020

Cherfilus-McCormick challenged Hastings again in 2020. She stated that she was running due to Hastings’ ethical issues and health problems.[6] She lost the August 18 primary, 69.3%–30.7%.[10]

See also: 2022 Florida’s 20th congressional district special election

After Hastings died on April 6, 2021, Cherfilus-McCormick once again ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 20th district. A special election was held.[11] During the campaign, she loaned $3.7 million to her campaign organization.[12][13] She campaigned on progressive policies such as a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and a $1,000-a-month universal basic income.[5] Her campaign was supported by Brand New Congress, a progressive organization that also backed candidates such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib.[14]

After a recount, Cherfilus-McCormick was declared the winner of the Democratic primary by five votes over Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness.[15] Cherfilus-McCormick easily defeated Republican Jason Mariner in the January 11, 2022 special election, winning 79% of the popular vote.[16][17] Cherfilus-McCormick is the second Haitian-American to be elected to Congress (after Republican Mia Love of Utah) and the first Haitian-American Democrat to be elected to Congress.[18][19]

2022 general election

Following her narrow margin of victory in the special election, Cherfilus-McCormick was again challenged by Holness in the regular election.[20] She handily defeated Holness in the August 2022 Democratic primary, 66%–27%; Anika Omphroy received 6% of the vote.[21] Cherfilus-McCormick defeated Republican nominee Drew Montez-Clark with 72% of the vote in the November election.[22]

2024

McCormick was re-elected without opposition in 2024.[23]

2026

Activist and substitute teacher Elijah Manley launched a 2026 Democratic primary challenge against Cherfilus-McCormick.[24][25] In September 2025, Cherfilus-McCormick filed a $1 million defamation lawsuit against Manley claiming that he had spread “blatant lies” about her record and reputation.[26] In these ads, Manley called Cherfilus-McCormick a “crook” and referenced her ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation.[27] Manley called the lawsuit frivolous. In January 2026, the lawsuit was dismissed.[28]

At an October 2025 town hall meeting, Cherfilus-McCormick and Manley got into a heated exchange that ended with Cherfilus-McCormick telling Manley “your mama” multiple times.[29][30]

On April 21, 2026, Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress.[31][32]

As of April 27, 2026, Cherfilus-McCormick had not withdrawn her 2026 congressional candidacy.[33]

Cherfilus-McCormick was a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.[18] She served on the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.[37]

Financial fraud charges

On December 27, 2023, the House Ethics Committee announced that it was investigating Cherfilus-McCormick over allegations that she had violated campaign finance laws, failed to submit required disclosures, and carried out improper hiring practices.[43]

In January 2025, the state of Florida filed a $5 million lawsuit against Cherfilus-McCormick’s South Florida-based Trinity Health Care Services business for knowingly accepting overpayments of invoices for work that was not actually performed during the COVID-19 pandemic.[44]

In November 2025, Cherfilus-McCormick was indicted on charges that she “stole and laundered $5 million in federal relief funds and used the money for her congressional campaign”. The specific charges included theft, money laundering, making illegal campaign contributions, and conspiring to file a false federal tax return.[45][46][47] Claiming innocence,[48] she pleaded not guilty.[49] She faces up to 53 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines.[46][49]

In January 2026, the investigative subcommittee of the House Committee on Ethics found that Cherfilus-McCormick’s actions were consistent with the allegations in the criminal indictment against her, as well as more extensive misconduct, and included violations of campaign finance laws and regulations, criminal laws, the Ethics in Government Act, the Code of Ethics for Government Service, and House rules.[50] Cherfilus-McCormick denied the allegations.[51] The House Ethics Committee held a hearing on Cherfilus-McCormick’s conduct on March 26, 2026.[52][53] The following day, the bipartisan committee found her guilty on 25 of 27 charges.[54][55][56] The finding paved the way for an expulsion vote by the full House of Representatives.[54] Representative Greg Steube stated he intended to force a vote to expel Cherfilus-McCormick.[57] Democratic representatives Vicente Gonzalez, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, and Jim Himes suggested Cherfilus-McCormick should resign or be removed.[58][56][59]

On April 21, 2026, Cherfilus-McCormick resigned her congressional post. She submitted her resignation minutes before a House Ethics Committee hearing; at that hearing, the Committee was scheduled to consider recommending that she be removed from Congress.[31][32]
