Miller defeats Davis in battle of GOP colleagues in Congress
(The Center Squre) – U.S. Rep. Mary Miller defeated her fellow Republican colleague, Rep. Rodney Davis, on Tuesday in the Republican primary for Illinois’ 15th congressional district.
After Illinois lost a seat in Congress because of declining population leading up to the 2020 census, the two ran against each other in the state’s newly redrawn 15th district.
Miller (58% of the vote) was declared the winner over Davis (42%).
Former President Donald Trump endorsed Miller in the race.
At a Trump rally Saturday near Quincy, Miller stirred controversy when she called last week’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade “a victory for white life.”
On Monday, Miller said she misspoke.
“It is so clear that I stumbled saying right to life,” Miller told WMAY. “I think it’s disgusting how Rodney Davis and the fake news media continue to attack me and my family.”
