There are no reported scandals, corruption allegations, fraud, bribery, indictments, charges, convictions, or ethics violations regarding Mayes Middleton’s career.
He is currently involved in a breach of contract lawsuit as a plaintiff, not a defendant. Filed in 2024, the lawsuit involves entities connected to Middleton seeking more than $25 million in allegedly underpaid oil and gas royalties from Escondido Resources II LLC and a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Inc. The defendants have denied owing the money.
Additionally, his political career has drawn criticism from opponents regarding his extensive use of personal wealth to fund his campaigns and his endorsements of other candidates, which critics have characterized as an attempt to buy influence or seats.
