US HR893

Representative Cory Mills (R-FL) would be formally censured and required to appear in the well of the House for a public reading of the censure resolution by the Speaker

Mills would be removed from the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign Affairs due to alleged conflicts of interest, as his companies (Pacem Defense/ALS, Inc.) secured nearly $1,000,000 in federal munitions contracts since January 2023, with 94 contracts awarded since January 9, 2024

The Office of Congressional Conduct found in August 2024 substantial reason to believe Mills violated House rules and federal law by holding federal contracts while serving as a Member, and may have omitted or misrepresented information in financial disclosure statements

DC Metropolitan Police investigated Mills for alleged domestic violence assault on February 19, 2025, finding probable cause to arrest for misdemeanor assault and sending an arrest warrant to the US Attorney's Office; a Florida court issued a protective order against Mills on October 14, 2025, for dating violence

Five servicemembers who served with Mills disputed the accounts underlying his 2021 Bronze Star recommendation, and the retired general whose signature appears on the award form stated he did not personally write, read, or sign the document
