Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who has been serving Florida’s 20th district in the U.S. Congress since 2022, shared a series of posts addressing significant issues on April 4 and 5, 2025. Born in Brooklyn and currently residing in Miramar, the Congresswoman commented on historical events, economic impacts of tariffs, and legislative efforts concerning Haiti.

Reflecting on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick noted on April 4, 2025: "57 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. A champion of peace and justice, his legacy continues to shine bright to this very day. As we reflect on his life and work, let us renew our commitment to continuing his efforts to build a better tomorrow."

On the same day, she expressed concern over tariffs and their impact on living costs in Florida. Posting in the afternoon, she stated on April 4, 2025: "Tariffs do absolutely nothing to bring down the cost of living for Florida households who are being stretched thin. Instead, they will mean the exact opposite — higher prices at a time of sky-rocketing costs."

Shifting attention to international matters, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick addressed issues in Haiti. On April 5, 2025, she commented: "Armed criminal gangs continue to wreak havoc across Haiti, fanning the flames of a worsening humanitarian crisis. Alongside @HouseForeign Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks and @RepMcCaul, I’m pushing a bipartisan measure, the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act."
