The House Ethics Committee announced on Wednesday that it had voted to launch an investigation into allegations of campaign finance law violations by Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL).

The committee said in a statement that members will probe claims that Cherfilus-McCormick “may have violated campaign finance laws and regulations in connection with her 2022 special election and/or 2022 re-election campaigns; failed to properly disclose required information on statements required to be filed with the House; and/or accepted voluntary services for official work from an individual not employed in her congressional office.”

While Republicans control the House, the Ethics Committee vote to launch the investigation was a bipartisan one. It came after possible violations were referred to the committee by the Office of Congressional Ethics back in September.

The investigation will be led by Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY). The committee declined to provide details on the specifics of the allegations, as is routine before releasing a report on its findings.

Cherfilus-McCormick was elected in January 2022 to fill the vacancy left by the death of the late Rep. Alcee Hastings. She was elected to a full term in November of that year.

“As the Ethics Committee said in its statement, the mere fact of establishing an investigative subcommittee does not itself indicate that any violation occurred," Cherfilus-McCormick’s office said in a statement on the inquiry. “Regardless, the Congresswoman takes these matters seriously and is working to resolve them.”
