WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced a resolution on April 20, 2026, to expel Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., from Congress over accusations that include sexual misconduct. Mills is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee in connection with allegations of sexual misconduct, dating violence and campaign finance violations, and he has denied any wrongdoing.

"The swamp has protected Cory Mills for far too long and we are done letting it slide. We tried to censure him and strip him from his committee assignments. Both parties blocked it, but we are not backing down," Mace said in a statement.

Mace offered a resolution to censure Mills in November. The House voted to refer that censure resolution to the Ethics Committee. Mace did not indicate whether she would use a procedural tool to expedite a floor vote on the expulsion resolution.

Speaker Mike Johnson said he opposed the effort. "We have a process here. The House Ethics Committee ensures due process for all members who have allegations made against them. So, no, I'm not in favor," Johnson said.

Mills responded on X, writing, "Call the vote forward." In a separate post, he wrote, "Nancy thinks allegations and accusations is due process."

Mills described a potential expulsion vote directed at him as a "Democratic tit for tat." In an interview, he rejected comparisons to other cases, saying, "One, I'm not married, so there's one thing. Two, I've never sexually harassed and or had any complaints by any staffers or interns on the Hill. It's just not even a fair comparison."

Mace is also under investigation by the House Ethics Committee after it received an ethics complaint alleging she overcharged Congress for housing costs. Her office said she is not taking the complaint seriously.

Former Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales faced bipartisan calls for expulsion before they resigned from their seats. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., was found guilty of 25 violations by a special bipartisan House Ethics subcommittee. The Ethics Committee is scheduled to make a recommendation on sanctions for Cherfilus-McCormick on Tuesday, which could include expulsion. She is accused of stealing $5 million in federal relief funds and using them for her campaign. Cherfilus-McCormick has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty in her federal case.
