Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) is facing a primary challenge from Ryan Elijah, a former FOX 35 Orlando news anchor, as the Florida Republican confronts allegations of misconduct and a potential expulsion from Congress. Elijah announced his candidacy on Tuesday, framing his campaign as a response to Mills' controversies and a commitment to district priorities. Mills is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations including domestic violence, stolen valor, and financial misconduct. He has denied all wrongdoing. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a resolution to expel Mills, citing a pattern of unaddressed misconduct. The House Ethics Committee has been probing Mills since August 2024, with no timeline for completion. Elijah, in interviews, called the allegations against Mills 'serious' and urged the committee to continue its investigation. Mills has countered by questioning Mace's motives and highlighting an ethics investigation against her. The primary race in Florida’s 7th Congressional District is set for August.
