Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick convincingly crushes competitors

Democratic U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick flattened the competitor she beat by just five votes in a Special Democratic Primary Election last November.

Cherfilus-McCormick secured 65% vote compared to the 29% that former Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness received. State Rep. Anika Omphroy trailed with 6% of the vote.

Cherfilus-McCormick must still get past Republican Drew-Montez Clark in November’s General Election for the right to represent Florida’s 20th Congressional District, which spans Broward and Palm Beach counties. But she is almost certain to win – the district is the bluest in the state, electing President Joe Biden by a 52-point margin.
