John – It’s been just over eight months since BNC’s Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was first sworn into office after a sweeping victory in last January’s special election.

Sheila immediately got to work in Congress championing over 200 pieces of legislation to stop union busters, protect reproductive rights, and confront racial injustices, just to name a few.

Brand New Congress was proud to be the ONLY national organization that backed Sheila in last year’s special election for Florida’s 20th district.

Sheila faced a tough, crowded primary last November, and ultimately won her race by only FIVE VOTES thanks to BNC supporters like you.

Sheila has another tough primary on Tuesday, when she faces reelection for the regular election cycle against the opponent she bested by only five votes last year.

Sheila’s story is not a typical politician’s. Raised by working class parents who sacrificed everything to give their daughter a chance at success, Sheila went on to found a wildly successful healthcare company and become a powerful force in her South Florida community.

A graphic featuring a photo of Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Black woman with long wavy hair, wearing a face mask and a white suit with pearls, and a quote from Sheila. The quote reads: “Women like me aren’t projected to run for office. I’m not a career politician. I wasn’t born to a wealthy or powerful family. My mother was a housekeeper and my father a cab driver who worked 12 hour shifts to support our family. No matter where we start in life, we deserve an equal opportunity to succeed.”

In her work as a home-healthcare provider, Sheila provided vocational medical training and helped families learn how to care for their loved ones at home. Witnessing first-hand the hardships families endure when for-profit insurers deny essential care, she became an early advocate for universal healthcare.

Brand New Congress made history with Sheila’s overwhelming victory in January. She’s the first Haitian-American to represent Florida – a state with more than half a million Haitian immigrants – in Congress. She’s also the first Black woman to represent this majority Black district.

A graphic featuring a headline from the Miami Herald which reads: “Trailblazer Cherfilus-McCormick is the first Haitain American sent to Congress from Florida.” Included is a photo taken from Sheila’s victory party where Sheila is leaning in to hug a supporter in celebration of her win. She is surrounded by a jubilant crowd.

Help us build on that history and keep fighting for progress. Rush a split donation now to help BNC keep Sheila in Congress.
