Rep. Mary Miller, currently serving as the U.S. Representative for Illinois’ 15th district, posted a series of statements on October 1, 2025, addressing recent developments in Congress and national policy.
In a post at 18:15 UTC, Miller commented on the government shutdown and assigned blame to her political opponents: "Republicans did their job and voted to keep the government open.
Democrats chose illegal aliens.
Democrats chose obstruction.
Democrats chose a shutdown.
They are 100% responsible for this." (October 1, 2025)
Later that day at 19:10 UTC, she expressed opposition to environmental legislation associated with the Green New Deal: "BYE, BYE GREEN NEW SCAM! " (October 1, 2025)
In another statement at 19:47 UTC, Miller thanked former President Donald Trump for his support of agricultural producers: "Thank you, President Trump, for fighting for hardworking farmers in Illinois and across America. Our soybean producers know you have their back!" (October 1, 2025)
Mary Miller has represented Illinois' largely rural 15th district since succeeding John Shimkus in Congress in 2021. She won her seat by significant margins in both the 2020 and 2022 general elections—defeating Erika Weaver with over seventy percent of the vote in 2020 and Paul Lange by a similar margin in the subsequent cycle.
