Overview
- Rep. Nancy Mace filed the measure Monday evening, accusing fellow Republican Cory Mills of sexual misconduct, misrepresenting his military service, campaign finance violations, and profiting from federal contracts.
- Mace’s resolution is not privileged, so House leaders would need to schedule it or she would have to force a vote through a separate procedural step.
- Mills denies wrongdoing, cites due process, and urged Mace to bring the measure to a vote as the House Ethics Committee’s probe into him for “sexual misconduct and/or dating violence” remains open.
- NOTUS reported that Mills had drafted a reciprocal expulsion resolution aimed at Mace that points to her reported confrontation with TSA officers in Charleston; Mace is also under an Ethics review that was recently extended.
- Speaker Mike Johnson has urged patience for Ethics findings and Democrats’ leader Hakeem Jeffries wants the Mills probe expedited, while the House also prepares action on Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick after Ethics findings and digests last week’s resignations of Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales; expulsions require a two‑thirds vote and are rare in a narrowly divided chamber.
