Even though multi-millionaire Stewart Mills III just sold out 8th District workers to Wall Street for $1.2 billion, and has a history of putting profit ahead of his workers, today the NRCC announced they’ve upgraded him on their list of contenders.
This is despite Stewart Mills personally profiting from selling out to Wall Street, and his history of using government subsidies to grow his wealth; Mills and his family have received more than $5 million in tax relief for the business – meaning “the Mills family gets a windfall and taxpayers get the bill.”
Mills also has a history of paying his construction workers less than minimum wage – then calling these reports “lies” – and continuing to take money from the same firm that laid off more than 100 Duluth workers, outsourcing Minnesotan jobs and manufacturing overseas.
“If National Republicans want to throw more time and money into helping multi-millionaire Stewart Mills III lose for a 2nd time, they can go right ahead,” said Sacha Haworth of the DCCC. “Minnesotans already once rejected Mills’ out-of-touch policies that would benefit millionaires like himself and outsource 8th District jobs overseas, and there’s every indication this time around will be an even more bruising defeat.”
