Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Joins The House!

A new face to Congress.

The newly sworn lawmaker to the represent Florida's 20th Congressional District is now official. 

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) is the newest member of the Florida congressional delegation. She is a Democrat. Cherfilus-McCormick won the Florida special election to fill the seat vacated by Alcee Hastings, who passed away in 2021.

She was born in Brooklyn, New York to parents from Haiti. She grew up in Queens. She moved to Florida when she was 13. She is a Bachelor of Arts in political science and government from Howard University.

She has a Juris Doctor from the St. Thomas University of Law.

She was endorsed by Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). She bested Dale Holness, the Broward County commissioner in a Democratic primary where she won by five votes. She defeated a far-right Karen in the general.

The race in Florida was apparently a sleeper. The main focus was on the Ohio Democratic special primary race between Shontel Brown and Nina Turner.

Turner, a former Ohio state senator and leftist agitator who worked on Bernie Sanders' two failed bids for the president became the focus of a bitter campaign. The leftists were attacking Brown for being in the pockets of "special interests" and being an establishment vote. 

Brown would end up winning the nomination and later the general. She was sworn in November.

Turner's antics during the 2020 presidential race were memorable. Turner compared Joe Biden to "eating half-a-bowl of shit." Those comments stuck to her ass and her campaign was doomed.

To be quite clear, if Cherfilus-McCormick joins the Squad, we're in trouble. It's bad enough we have Bush, Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) bowing down to white leftists. Why do we need more of that?

Hopefully, she will be a lawmaker and not an activist.
