Briefing

The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) reviewed Representative Cory Mills and found substantial reason to believe he may have omitted or misrepresented required information in his financial disclosure reports, that his campaign may have accepted excessive personal-loan contributions that may not have come from his personal funds, and that he may have entered into or benefited from federal contracts while serving in Congress. The OCE recommends the House Committee on Ethics further review those three allegations. The OCE found no substantial reason to believe the campaign accepted improper in-kind credit or that Rep. Mills accepted an impermissible gift.
