A Florida Representative got an “F” on a corruption and special interests legislative scorecard for the 119th Congress.
End Citizens United Action Fund, a leading anti-corruption reform group, announced that Republican Rep. Cory Mills earned an “F” on its scorecard. The legislative scorecard grades members of Congress based on their votes and co-sponsorship of key legislation and procedural actions that would crack down on corruption in Washington, advance campaign finance reform, and protect and expand voting rights.
“Representative Mills’ record shows a consistent willingness to side with billionaire donors and corporate special interests, even when it means real harm to working families,” said End Citizens United Action Fund President Tiffany Muller. “He voted to strip health care from millions of working Americans in order to fund tax breaks for the wealthy, cut food assistance, and rubber stamped gutting critical consumer protections. Those votes were not isolated or accidental. They reflect a governing agenda shaped by donor interests and corporate lobbyists, not his constituents. That pattern of putting special interests first and enabling corruption is why Rep. Mills earned an F.”
The scorecard is based on several criteria, including cosponsoring the proposed constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, voting to prevent the SAVE Act from advancing as a restrictive voting measure, and rejecting corporate PAC money. Other criteria focused on protecting American families from historic attempts to weaken consumer and environmental protections, as well as opposing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which amounted to one of the most egregious transfers of wealth from the working class in order to reward GOP megadonors for their support.
The scorecard openly leans Democratic and that’s why Republicans like Rep. Cory Mills may not mind the failing grade, but Democrats are targeting the Florida congressional district and this is more political fodder for voters to consider.
Another Florida Congressman received an “A+” on the same legislative scorecard.
