Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick went to Congress thanks to the slimmest possible victory, just five votes. Now, she’s secured another term without appearing on the ballot at all, after no candidate came forward to challenge her reelection. It was a last-minute surprise, and Cherfilus-McCormick will serve in the House at least until January 2027. “It feels great, and (is) a big relief,” she said. The Broward-Palm Beach County Democrat outlined her plans and priorities in a wide-ranging phone interview with the South Florida Sun Sentinel in which she also expressed puzzlement about why a celebrity threatened to run against her but never ended up backing up all his talk. She said, more than once, that the “world is on fire,” both at home and abroad, and said Americans are yearning for solutions rather than rhetoric from their leaders.
