WASHINGTON — Republican Representative Mary Miller secured her reelection for a U.S. House seat in Illinois on Tuesday, doing so without facing any opposition. Miller, who first entered Congress in 2020, took over the position previously held by Republican John Shimkus following his retirement. In the subsequent election cycle, she garnered attention when she received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, which helped her defeat incumbent Republican Representative Rodney Davis in the newly drawn 15th District.

Miller’s political journey has been marked by a range of controversies. Shortly after taking office, she sparked outrage by quoting Adolf Hitler during an event outside the U.S. Capitol. As a known member of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, she has consistently aligned herself with conservative viewpoints. Her district encompasses a large portion of central Illinois, making her a prominent figure in that region’s political landscape. Election results confirmed Miller’s victory, reinforcing her position in Congress.
