A Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives has drawn the interest of campaign finance watchdogs now investigating fraud complaints related to her first successful election.
The Federal Election Commission has launched an investigation into Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) after tipsters reported about her past work with Mark Goodrich, a Republican political consultant, in 2021 while running in a special election for her current seat. An ethics complaint filed by the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation alleges Cherfilus-McCormick failed to report significant in-kind contributions that helped propel her to victory that year.
Those contributions came from Goodrich as well as the lawmaker’s family, according to an investigation by the House Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE).
“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. “All of this was already in place. These people I think are blatantly corrupt.”
