Florida says it accidentally paid a healthcare company $5.7M instead of $50k. Rather than returning the money, company CEO, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, then "loaned herself" $6.2M to win a congressional seat.

Per Wiki:

“serving as the U.S. representative for Florida’s 20th congressional district. Her district covers most of the Black-majority areas in and around Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. A member of the Democratic Party, she won a special election in 2022 to fill the seat left vacant after the death of Alcee Hastings.

Cherfilus-McCormick voted with President Joe Biden’s stated position 100% of the time in the 117th Congress, according to a FiveThirtyEight analysis.”
