New Filings Show Rep. Cory Mills Used Donor Funds for Luxury Travel and Lodging

Overview

• A Washington Examiner review found nearly $80,000 in campaign spending on fine dining, upscale hotels, private jets, and limousines from February 2023 through December 2024.
• Payments included more than $30,000 to private aviation vendors and roughly $7,000 for limo services, with a single $5,711 charge at the Fairmont in Puerto Rico in May 2024.
• Mills also billed taxpayers over $15,000 for D.C. lodging and meals in early 2025 through an optional allowance program despite an estimated net worth above $20 million.
• Reporting flagged potential filing irregularities that treated over $14,000 in donor refunds as negative contributions rather than listing them on the refund line.
• The House Ethics Committee is investigating broader allegations, and Rep. Nancy Mace pledged a censure measure as Democrats mark Mills’s Florida district as a 2026 target.
