Sheila Cherfilas-McCormick (D-Fla.) violated campaign finance laws and failed to file required disclosure forms last year as she ran for her seat. She was running in a special election and had been seeking reelection for months. Cherfilas-McCormick was elected to represent Florida's 20th Congressional District, one of the most Democratic-leaning districts in the state, in early 2022 to succeed the late Representative Alcee L.

The subcommittee investigating this issue is composed of four members: Representative Andrew R. Garbarino (R-N.Y.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), Cliff Bentz (R-Ore.) and Troy A. Carter (D-La.).
