Convicted Child Predator Works For QAnon/GOP Rep

St. Louis’s NBC News affiliate reports:

If you signed a petition to help put U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Illinois) on this June’s primary ballot, there’s a chance that a man convicted of luring a child for sex was the one who asked you to sign those campaign documents. Congresswoman Mary Miller is facing new questions about her relationship with Brad Graven, a former state worker who pleaded guilty to luring a young boy to a drugstore parking lot for sex acts in 2005.

His name does not show up on the campaign payroll, but Graven enjoyed virtually unlimited access to Miller, served as her personal chauffeur at public events and raised money for her campaign. “A politician is known by their votes and by who they hang around with,” Miller told supporters on Monday. That line has become a common refrain from the first-term conservative firebrand who made national headlines for quoting Adolf Hitler at a QAnon rally outside the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021.

As you may recall, Miller’s husband’s truck bearing a Three Percenters militia sticker was seen near the Capitol on the day of the riot.

Miller is a loud opponent of LGBTQ rights and is a cosponsor of the “Fire Fauci Act.”

She is also the cosponsor of a bill that would defund public universities that offer abortion pills.

Miller’s current House seat was erased by redistricting and she’s now challenging incumbent GOP Rep. Rodney Davis in his own district.
