This bill proposes to expel Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from the House of Representatives. According to the bill, the Department of Justice indicted her in November 2025 on serious federal charges related to allegedly stealing $5 million in FEMA disaster relief funds that were meant to help communities recover from emergencies and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here's what the charges allege: Her family's healthcare company received a FEMA contract for COVID vaccination services in 2021 and was overpaid by about $5 million. The indictment claims she and others conspired to keep that money instead of returning it, then hid where the money came from through various financial transactions. Most troublingly, prosecutors say she used a significant portion of these stolen disaster funds to finance her own congressional campaign—both by loaning money to her campaign committee and by arranging illegal donations through other people to get around campaign finance limits.

The bill emphasizes that these aren't just criminal allegations. The House Ethics Committee is also investigating her separately for campaign finance violations and ethics concerns related to her elections and financial disclosures. The bill argues that using taxpayer money meant for disaster victims to fund a political campaign represents a serious betrayal of public trust and that her conduct falls short of the standards required of House members. If convicted on all charges, she could face up to 53 years in prison. The bill proposes removing her from office immediately based on these allegations and the ongoing ethics investigation.
