That includes her campaign committee accepting — and failing – to report contributions exceeding the limits. There was also a failure to report transactions between the campaign committee’s bank account and Cherfilus-McCormick’s business bank accounts.
Cherfilus-McCormick represents areas in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
She was first elected in a January 2022 special election for Al Hastings' seat. She funded her campaign with several million dollars while she was a health care CEO at the time.
