Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress while remaining a candidate for reelection
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) resigned from Congress on Tuesday, minutes before the House Ethics Committee was set to release its decision on potential expulsion over allegations she stole $5 million from FEMA. She had filed for reelection on April 17, days before her resignation, and an aide confirmed she has no plans to drop out of the race. Cherfilus-McCormick called the investigation a 'witch hunt' and said she resigned to fight for her constituents outside of office.
