Disgraced Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick filed to run for office after being accused of stealing $5 million from Taxpayers. She faces a criminal trial.
Despite her legal battles and criminal trial on the horizon, former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick told reporters Monday that she intends to run for reelection.
The evidence against her is so strong that she is likely to serve jail time.
According to the Florida Division of Elections Candidate Tracking System, Cherfilus-McCormick is listed as “qualified,” meaning she has met all requirements to appear on the ballot.
“I never shied away from a fight, and my team has always said, we are ready, and we are ready to fight and win,” Cherfilus-McCormick said.
