Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is a candidate for U.S. Congress to represent Florida's 20th District in the special election to fill Alcee Hastings' seat. She is the only candidate in the race who attempted to unseat Rep. Hastings while he was still alive.
In 2018, Sheila became the first Haitian American woman to run for Congress in Broward and Palm Beach County. She was part of a national movement of women committed to taking back the House of Representatives for working families. Although she did not win the Primary, Sheila made history when she secured close to 30% of the votes within 3 months from a 26-year incumbent and only spent $30k.
Sheila is one of the Founding members of the Cherfilus & McCormick Foundation, whose mission is to empower the community through initiatives, education, service, scholarship opportunities, and leadership training. In 2019, she was recognized as Miramar’s Progressive Woman of the Year.
