Challenges by OpponentsThe New Smyrna Beach Congressman also faced public pressure from his Floridian Republican colleagues in office, as Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and Mike Haridopolos (R-Fla.) announced their endorsements for FL CD 7 challenger and former TV anchor Ryan Elijah, just hours before the debate. Additionally, Rep. Mills faced outcries from challenger Michael Don Johnson over “Boogie Woogie” concerns such as his previous marriage, his alleged involvement in arms deals with Ukraine, his alleged stolen valor, and accusations that he is a false Republican and Donald Trump supporter. Business leader Sarah Ulrich also questioned the incumbent Congressman on his alleged ties to the Muslim religion, his first wedding, and skepticism about his role in office. “That’s why they want to ruin me, that’s why they want me out, and that’s why there hasn’t ever been any charges found guilty, only accusations and allegations. Same thing they did to President Donald J. Trump,” he affirmed.
