United States119th CongressHRES-893House of Representatives
Updated: Nov 20, 2025

Summary

This resolution seeks to censure Representative Cory Mills and remove him from his positions on the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The proposed censure is primarily driven by concerns over significant conflicts of interest related to his ownership of companies, including Pacem Defense/ALS, Inc., which have secured nearly $1,000,000 in federal contracts for munitions and weapons while he has been a Member of Congress. The Office of Congressional Conduct found substantial reason to believe he violated House rules and federal law by holding these contracts and noted potential conflicts with his committee assignments, also raising concerns about misrepresented financial disclosures and campaign finance irregularities. Further justifications for the censure include questions surrounding the veracity of Representative Mills's Bronze Star award, with military colleagues disputing his account of events and a Brigadier General denying signing the recommendation. His military records reportedly do not corroborate claims of serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment or attending Sniper School. Additionally, the resolution details alleged incidents of personal misconduct, including a February 2025 investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department into an alleged assault and a July 2025 report of threats against a former romantic partner, which led to a Florida court issuing an injunction for protection against dating violence . These various allegations are cited as bringing discredit upon the House and affecting its dignity and integrity.
