Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) has allowed a man convicted of soliciting sex with a minor to assist with her reelection campaign, the Washington Examiner has learned.
The revelation is at odds with Miller's family values platform and threatens to complicate her GOP primary bid against a House colleague, Rodney Davis, in a newly created downstate Illinois district.At issue is the campaign role of Bradley Graven, a former contractor for the state treasurer. Graven pleaded guilty in 2005 following a sting operation in which he contacted an officer posing as a minor in an internet chat room.
In March, Graven was seen driving Miller to a Jacksonville parade in an SUV with state legislative plates, according to pictures obtained by the Washington Examiner. Graven was also responsible for collecting more than 50% of the signatures Miller needed to get on the ballot, according to documents provided to the Washington Examiner. He has also posted on social media in an effort to call on individuals to donate to her campaign.Miller has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, a potential boon to her reelection bid.
Since taking office after her 2020 election, Miller has been vocal on policies relating to minors. She has frequently taken to social media and issued press releases criticizing allowing minors to use puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and sex-change surgeries before reaching adulthood.
