The mud is already flying in bitter battle to be Republican candidate in the Illinois 15th Congressional District – WHBF – OurQuadCities.com

All Mary Miller has to show for her time in Congress is quoting Hitler and voting with Democrats like AOC and the far-left squad to defund our military and block a pay raise for our troops. Thats shameful, DeGroot said. Its clear that Mary Miller is all talk, no action.

Just days after being sworn into office, Miller positivelyquoted Adolf Hitlerin apreparedspeech outside of the U.S. Capitol, saying Hitler was right on one thing.

On Jan. 5, 2021, two days into her House term, Miller issued a speech to the conservative group Moms for America.She quotedAdolf Hitler, saying: Each generation has the responsibility to teach and train the next generation. You know, if we win a few elections, were still going to be losing unless we win the hearts and minds of our children. This is the battle. Hitler was right on one thing: he said, Whoever has the youth has the future.

Rodney Davis is a conservative who gets things done, DeGroot said. Hes already been hard at work highlighting his conservative accomplishments and work with President Trump during his time in office. Thats why hes earned support from countless grassroots Republican leaders in the district. Our campaign looks forward to educating voters on how Rodney is an effective conservative member of Congress and Mary is not.

Do members of Congress have to live in their district?

Mary Miller lives in the 12thCongressional District, not the 15thDistrict, though House members are not required to reside in the district they represent. Anyone can run for Congress as long as they are at least 25 years old, have been a U.S. citizen at least seven years and live in the state they will represent.

Miller has endorsed Darren Bailey for Illinois Governor, who has selected Never Trumper Stephanie Trussell as his running mate, and voted Noon the FY22 defense budget, referred to as the NDAA, the Davis campaign noted. The NDAA funds the military and provides a pay raise for the troops. Alsovoting nowere Democrat Reps. Alexandra Ocasio Cortez and other members of the far left Democrat Squad.

DeGroot described Davis as pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and is a leading voice against Nancy Pelosis partisan 1/6 Select Committee and Congressional Democrats attempts to push a federal takeover of our election system.

Davis, 51, has beenendorsedby 32 of the 35 Republican county chairmen in the 15thDistrict, Congressmen Darin LaHood and Mike Bost, former Congressman John Shimkus, and over a dozen state lawmakers who represent the 15thDistrict in the Illinois General Assembly.

In 2020, Davis served as an Illinois Co-Chair of President Donald Trumps re-election campaign. He opposed both attempts by Democrats in Congress to impeach President Trump and voted with Trumpnearly 90%of the time when he was in office.

This past Aug. 27, following withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Miller called for the impeachment of President Biden.

President Joe Biden has shown a reckless disregard for the safety and security of our troops stationed overseas and Americans here at home, she said then. Congress must act and begin immediate impeachment hearings to hold the President responsible for the decisions he made that cost service members their lives.

Prior to being elected to the U.S. House in 2012, Davis served as Projects Director for Congressman John Shimkus (who had represented the old 15thDistrict) for 16 years. Miller, 62, won the 2020 election with 70% of the vote, becoming the first Republican woman elected to represent Illinois in Congress sinceJudy Biggertleft office in 2013.

Her bio notes she is a wife, mother, grandmother (seven kids and 17 grandchildren), and local farmer who serves as a voice for families and farmers ignored by D.C. insiders in the swamp. On the House Agriculture Committee, Miller worked with both parties to pass rural broadband legislation, fund vital crop insurance programs, and allow milk back into the school lunch program. She has also introduced legislation to stop the Biden EPA from infringing on farmers and ranchers with burdensome Waters of the United States (WOTUS) regulations, her bio says.

The 2022 primary will be held June 28.
