Florida Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick (D) Under Investigation For Alleged Fraud

Daily Caller-

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has launched an investigation into Democratic Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick after multiple complaints allege her campaign violated federal and state laws surrounding campaign finance. 

Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign began working with Mark Goodrich — a political consultant who had previously worked for Republicans — in 2021, while running in a special election for the south Florida House seat she currently represents. The Coolidge-Reagan Foundation’s Aug. 11 legal complaint to the FEC, based on an investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics’ (OCE), alleges Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign failed to report illegal in-kind contributions from an organization with ties to Goodrich and the congresswoman’s family. 

“You don’t accidentally magically happen to have [multiple entities] ready to go at a moment’s notice. They’re not that quick to set up,” Dan Backer, the attorney filing the complaints against Cherfilus-McCormick for the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “All of this was already in place. These people I think are blatantly corrupt.”

  1. FEC is a paper tiger.
    Nothing but monetary fines for corrupt politicians which are paid from their campaign war chest. Politicians are rarely caught, but when they are, nothing beyond a fine.
