IDCCA Launches Campaign to Draw Attention to Mary Miller’s Failures

Springfield, IL —Early this morning, bright yellow billboards featuring Representative Mary Miller appeared across Adams, Coles, Macon, and Morgan counties, bearing the messages  “Mary Miller Has Failed Illinois”. The billboards were paid for by the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association as part of a district wide effort to draw attention to the abject failure of Mary Miller’s time in office.

President Mark Guethle commented this morning about the group’s intentions.

“Mary Miller is running for re-election, so we thought we’d help advertise what exactly she has accomplished for her district – which is a whole hell of a lot of nothing,” Guethle said. “She’s been in that seat for five years, and instead of delivering for her constituents, she’s focused on embarrassing herself and the communities she represents. Just Google her top accomplishments—it’s a very short list, and it’s nothing but a handful of far-right, symbolic bills that do nothing to help people. They only appease Donald Trump as Miller continues to fawn over him.”

Guethle added that Miller has failed to deliver on key priorities for her district. “Our health insurance premiums tripled because of her. Our most vulnerable went hungry during a government shutdown because of her. Billionaires are paying less in taxes than people living in her district. And our soybean farmers are watching businesses built over generations slip away in a single season because of her,” Guethle said. “But don’t worry–her farm is doing just fine. Did I mention it’s incorporated in Delaware?”

County Chairs Terry Redman and Katherine Daniels, along with local Democrats in their respective county parties, worked closely with the IDCCA to launch the campaign alongside a companion website, marymillerhasfailed.us, which outlines Miller’s voting record, racist and antisemitic remarks, likely ethics violations, and ties to extremism. A district wide digital ad buy is also launching to support this campaign. The entire campaign will last several months as the IDCCA helps remind voters of Miller’s failures.

“People deserve to know what their representatives are doing in Washington,” said Katherine Daniels, Democratic Chair of Adams County. “Adams County deserves a fighter in Congress—a fighter for working families here at home, not for Donald Trump’s agenda of corruption and cronyism.”

“Running for re-election is about reminding voters of what you’ve done while in office,” said Terry Redman, Democratic Chair of DeWitt County. “So we’re reminding voters that Mary Miller violated House ethics rules, voted for bills that drove up health care costs, and placed loyalty to the man whose trade wars devastated our farms over loyalty to those Illinois farmers.”

“Illinois deserves better than Mary Miller,” Guethle said. “The IDCCA will be fully behind whoever earns the Democratic nomination in Illinois’ 15th Congressional District, doing everything in our power to help them win.”
