Embattled congressman Cory Mills faces challenges from DCCC, 3 Democratic challengers

As hits keep coming for embattled incumbent Florida Republican Congressman Cory Mills, three Democrats have entered the 2026 race to challenge him while a key national fundraising arm of the party says defeating the two-termer is a top priority.

Mills is facing a House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations that he benefited from contracts with the federal government while seated in the U.S. House of Representatives, and has also been questioned by Metropolitan Police in Washington D.C. about a Feb. 19 simple assault allegation that occurred at a home he shared with a woman who is not his wife. That investigation is ongoing, according to Makhetha Watson, a Metro Police spokesman contacted on May 23.
