Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned just minutes before a House Ethics Committee hearing that could have led to her expulsion.

The committee had already found her guilty of 25 ethics violations, tied to allegations that she misused federal relief funds, including millions linked to a FEMA contract.

Now, with her resignation, the Ethics Committee has lost jurisdiction — raising serious concerns that stepping down is being used to avoid full accountability.

But the investigation isn’t over.

The public deserves answers about:

How federal funds were used
Whether laws were broken
Who else may have been involved
We call on:

U.S. Department of Justice
House Ethics Committee leadership
to continue all investigations, release findings publicly, and ensure accountability despite resignation.

Sign to demand: no loopholes—finish the investigation.
