Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) faces allegations of stolen valor, domestic abuse, links to a radical Islamic cleric, and is facing a congressional ethics investigation. Despite the deluge of controversy, mainstream corporate donors, high-powered lobbyists, trade associations, and other lawmakers continue to cut checks to the congressman.
Leadership at big names such as Toyota, the National Rifle Association, Robinhood, and major defense contractor General Dynamics, among others, made financial contributions to Mills’s reelection campaign after his various scandals were reported on by the media, according to recently released campaign finance filings. Donations from mainstream corporate and political entities made up more than 15% of his fundraising between April and June.
