Two-time Republican U.S. Representative Corry Mills is grabbing headlines at the moment. It seems the Democrats are eager to witness him lose his seat in the wake of the mid-term elections ahead. For context, Mills is an incumbent representing Florida’s 7th Congressional District. Amid the pressures of voting, he is also facing controversies surrounding his personal life and his ethical and legal conduct.
Capitalizing on this vulnerability, the Democrats plan to flip one of the most trusted GOP seats to the Democratic Party. The recent stance on the matter was taken by former NASA chief of staff, Bale Dalton. Taking a straightforward stance, he claimed that Cory is not fit to continue in Congress. Dalton remarked, “We’ve got a representative in Cory Mills that seems much more interested in serving himself than serving the folks of Seminole and Volusia County. He has quite a bit of baggage attached to him.”
Among the controversies Mills has faced, one of them is a restraining order issued by his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Langston. The matter also has an angle of sexual blackmail allegations against the Congressman. In October, a Florida court ordered Cory not to come within 500 meters of Langston after he threatened to release their explicit pictures. He meant to harm her future relationship prospects.
Dear Florida’s 7th District,
We need to talk about Cory Mills, your congressman who is now dragging a growing list of police reports, court filings, and ethics probes behind him.

More importantly, he is also under the House Ethics Committee’s scanner, particularly regarding his business dealings. They are investigating whether Mills personally benefited from federal contracts while still serving in Congress. A statement from the department noted, “There is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Mills omitted and misrepresented required information in his financial disclosure reports.”
Serious questions were raised about inconsistencies in his military records. There is also a pending criminal investigation in his name, related to an alleged assault that took place at his Washington residence. A NOTUS report has pointed to his honesty during service. High-ranking military officials have even raised doubts about his publicized image as a military hero.
In response, Corry Mills has vehemently denied all such accusations, as well as allegations of wrongdoing by opponents in politics. He countered claims that he had misinterpreted his military records. In his statement to Politico, Mills said, “I lead the entire state of Florida in constituent services with one of the most constitutionally conservative and fiscally responsible voting records.”
Democrats are confident they can unseat Corry Mills, given his multiple scandals and controversies. They also allege that there are ongoing affordability concerns among the public, along with Trump’s evident decline in approval ratings.
Meanwhile, dismissing claims of noncompliance with any of the investigations, the U.S. Rep said, “I’m committed to complying with all laws and ethics rules and was pleased that the Federal Election Commission recently dismissed a complaint with similar allegations.”
