Rep. Nancy Mace To Offer Privileged Resolution To Censure Cory Mills And Remove Him From National Security Committees
The resolution cites ethics violations, conflicts of interest, military record misrepresentations, and allegations of violence against women.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 19, 2025) — Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) announced she will offer a privileged resolution to censure Rep. Cory Mills (FL-07) and remove him from the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The resolution outlines a pattern of alleged misconduct Rep. Mace says makes Mills unfit to serve on committees with national-security responsibilities.
"These allegations are far too serious to ignore," said Congresswoman Mace. "A Member of Congress accused of assaulting women, profiting off federal contracts from his seat, and inflating or falsifying his service record has no business anywhere near national-security committees. This isn't about partisan politics, it's about protecting the integrity of this institution and the safety of women."
Key Allegations Detailed in the Resolution:
- Federal Contracting Violations: The Office of Congressional Conduct found in August 2024 companies owned by Mills secured nearly $1 million in federal contracts for munitions and weapons while he served in Congress, with 94 contracts awarded since January 2024.
- The Office of Congressional Conduct concluded "there is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Mills may have entered into, held, or enjoyed contracts with federal agencies while he was a Member of Congress in violation of House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law."
- International Arms Dealing Conflicts: Public reports indicate Mills-owned entities sought or entered into contracts to sell munitions to foreign nations including Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, and Colombia while he served on the Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees, committees with direct oversight of U.S. military aid and arms sales policy.
- Disputed Bronze Star and Military Record Multiple service members who served with Mills have disputed the account of events which formed the basis for his 2021 Bronze Star recommendation.
- Retired Brigadier General Arnold N. Gordon-Bray stated he did not personally write, read, or sign the DA Form 638 recommending Mills for the award.
- Five individuals who served with Mills, including two men Mills allegedly saved, disputed Mills was involved in their rescue or provided life-saving care. One sergeant called the account a "fabrication."
- Additionally, Mills claimed on his DynCorp International employment application he served in the elite 75th Ranger Regiment and attended Army Sniper School, claims not supported by his military records.
- Allegations of Violence Against Women On February 19, 2025, DC Metropolitan Police were called to Mills' residence for a reported assault. Police reports confirmed a 27-year-old woman, identified as Mills' significant other for over a year (not his wife) accused him of grabbing, shoving, and pushing her out of the door. Officers observed fresh bruises on her arm. The woman reportedly let officers hear Mills instruct her to lie about the origin of her bruises. Police determined probable cause existed for misdemeanor assault and sent an arrest warrant to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.
- In July 2025, a different former romantic partner reported Mills threatened to release nude images and intimate videos of her and threatened to harm her future romantic partners after she ended their relationship. On October 14, 2025, a Florida court issued a Final Judgment of Injunction for Protection Against Dating Violence against Mills.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace issued the following statement on her privileged resolution seeking to censure Rep. Cory Mills:
“I will not stand by while women risk everything to come forward with credible allegations of abuse and threats. I will not stay silent while a Member of Congress may be lining his pockets through federal contracts. And I will not look the other way while allegations of stolen valor, a slap in the face to every veteran who earned their service and sacrifice, goes unchecked.
“Cory Mills’ alleged conduct makes him unfit to serve on any committee responsible for our national security. And as a survivor, these allegations involving women strike at a place I know too well, and I refuse to ignore them or let this institution minimize them.
“This privileged resolution is about drawing a line: defending the integrity of Congress, standing with survivors who are too often dismissed or silenced, and respecting veterans whose courage is not up for debate. This is bigger than politics, it’s about right and wrong.
“And that is why we are forcing a vote on the House floor to censure him. Accountability will not wait.”
The privileged resolution will force a vote on the House floor within two legislative days.
