Breaking: U.S. Rep. Cory Mills to hold tele-town hall today

U.S. Rep. Cory Mills, who represents Oviedo, is holding a tele-town hall from 6:30 -7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 8.

To dial into the meeting, residents should call 855-756-7520 and use the PIN: 121814. 

Mills has been under pressure from constituents to hold a town hall after news broke in February that he was under investigation for an alleged assault in Washington, D.C. The alleged incident reportedly occurred at the 44-year-old Mills’ D.C. penthouse on Feb. 20. No arrests were made. Residents have also voiced concerns about federal cuts coming from the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. 

Sarah Raviani, the alleged victim, has since told The Floridian that while she did “involve the authorities” and “the personal matter in question was emotionally charged, there was no physical altercation.”

In light of the news of the incident, about half a dozen residents attended the March 3 Oviedo City Council meeting to speak about the congressman.  

“I’m someone who comes from a household of domestic violence, so when there is somebody that we send to Congress that is supposed to represent us and they are not held to account, or something is not allowed to go forward to see what is true and what is not, that is deeply concerning,” Oviedo resident Arian Bryant said.
