This resolution calls for the expulsion of Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from the House of Representatives based on federal criminal charges announced on November 19, 2025. The Department of Justice indicted her for allegedly stealing $5 million in FEMA disaster relief funds intended for COVID-19 vaccination services, then laundering that money to finance her 2021 congressional campaign through personal loans and illegal campaign contributions. The charges include theft of government funds, wire fraud, money laundering, and false tax filings, with potential penalties of up to 53 years in prison if she is convicted on all counts. The resolution notes that her alleged actions violate the House's ethics standards requiring members to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects creditably on Congress, and that an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation is already reviewing additional campaign finance and disclosure violations related to her 2022 campaigns. If passed, this resolution would remove her from office based on the constitutional authority of the House to expel members.
