Turner as House Intelligence chairman - CBS News | website=[[CBS News]] | date=January 16, 2025 }}</ref> 

Turner is known for his [[hawkish]] national security stances.

==Early life, education, and career==
Turner was born in 1960 in Dayton, Ohio, to Vivian and Ray Turner. His mother was a teacher for Huber Heights City Schools and his father worked as a member of IUE Local 801 for 42 years after serving in the military. Turner was raised in East Dayton and has one sister. He is a non-denominational [[Protestantism|Protestant]].

Turner graduated from [[Belmont High School (Ohio)|Belmont High School]] in 1978 and received his [[Bachelor of Arts]] in [[political science]] from the [[Ohio Northern University]] in 1982, a [[Juris Doctor]] from [[Case Western Reserve University]] in 1985, a [[Master of Business Administration]] from the [[University of Dayton]] in 1992, and a [[Doctor of Liberal Studies]] in urban economic development from [[Georgetown University]] in 2022.<ref>{{cite web |date=2022-05-20 |title=Turner Graduates from Georgetown University with Doctorate Degree |url=https://turner.house.gov/2022/5/turner-graduates-from-georgetown-university-with-doctorate-degree |access-date=2022-05-21 |website=Congressman Michael Turner |language=en}}</ref> He practiced law with local firms and businesses in the Dayton area before entering politics. He also practiced law during the brief time between his service as mayor of Dayton and as a member of Congress.

==Mayor of Dayton==
Turner was elected mayor of [[Dayton, Ohio]], in 1993, narrowly defeating incumbent Mayor Richard Clay Dixon. Before he took office, the city suffered a number of economic setbacks. Upon taking office, Turner focused on attracting business to the city and on redeveloping vacant and underutilized real estate packages known as [[brownfields]].

During Turner's mayoralty, Dayton reached an agreement to construct a [[Fifth Third Field (Dayton, Ohio)|baseball stadium]] for a class A minor league team affiliated with the [[Cincinnati Reds]].

Turner was the mayor of Dayton during the planning and construction of the [[Schuster Center]], which he supported for its contribution to reviving downtown. He facilitated discussions with key leaders from the project's conception to its completion.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://vote-usa.org/Intro.aspx?State=OH&Id=OHTurnerMichaelR |title=Michael R.

It has served as a forum for the Victoria Theatre's Broadway Series, the [[Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra]], the [[Dayton Ballet]], and a speaking location for visiting political leaders, such as former New York governor [[Mario Cuomo]].

He was reelected in 1997 over Democratic city commissioner Tony Capizzi. In 2001 he lost to then state senator [[Rhine McLin]], 51.6% to 48.4%.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.mcohio.org/document_center/BoardElections/ElectionResults/20011106.txt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160430013527/http://www.mcohio.org/document_center/BoardElections/ElectionResults/20011106.txt |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 30, 2016 |title=Montgomery County Historic Election Results - General Election 2001|date=November 26, 2001|website=Montgomery County Board of Elections}}</ref>

==U.S. House of Representatives==
===Elections===
;2002
{{See also|2002 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio#District 3}}
Turner received 58% of the vote following the retirement of 23-year incumbent Democrat [[Tony P. Hall]] from Congress after President [[George W. Bush]] named Hall U.N. special envoy for hunger issues. Earlier that year, Turner won the Republican nomination when he defeated Roy Brown with 80% of the vote. Brown was the son and grandson of former area Republican congressmen [[Bud Brown (politician)|Bud Brown]] and [[Clarence J. Brown]] and operated a local newspaper company, Brown Publishing. In the general election, Turner defeated Congressman Tony Hall's chief of staff, Rick Carne, after Carne won the Democratic nomination. Turner got a substantial assist from the 2000s round of redistricting. The old 3rd had been a fairly compact district centered on Dayton, but redistricting added some Republican-leaning suburbs to the east.

;2004
{{See also|2004 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio#District 3}}
In [[United States House elections, 2004|2004]], Turner defeated former businesswoman Jane Mitakides with over 62% of the vote. The district was considered a key area in the swing state of Ohio in that year's presidential race.

;2006
{{See also|2006 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio#District 3}}
In [[United States House elections, 2006|2006]], the Democrats planned to target Turner for defeat. Three Democrats entered the Third District primary to run against Turner in the general election. [[Veterinarian]] Stephanie Studebaker defeated local bankruptcy attorney David Fierst and recalled Waynesville mayor Charles W. Sanders. Studebaker had previously affiliated with former Vermont governor [[Howard Dean|Howard Dean's]] 2004 presidential campaign in Ohio. After winning the nomination, she and her husband Sam were both arrested for domestic violence.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tcnewsnet.com/main.asp?SectionID=15&SubSectionID=260&ArticleID=141279&TM=71415.87 |title=Former congressional candidate arrested |access-date=February 21, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716194854/http://www.tcnewsnet.com/main.asp?SectionID=15&SubSectionID=260&ArticleID=141279&TM=71415.87 |archive-date=July 16, 2011 }}</ref> Studebaker subsequently dropped out of the race, citing her family concerns and impending legal issues. After her withdrawal, four Democrats entered a special primary to face Turner, won by former assistant [[United States Attorney|United States attorney]] Richard Chema. Turner defeated Chema with 58% of the vote.

;2008
{{See also|2008 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio#District 3}}
Jane Mitakides beat Sanders in the Democratic primary and faced Turner in a rematch from 2004. Turner again focused largely on economic issues of job creation and protection for workers affected by the national and regional recession. In a difficult political climate for Republicans, Turner defeated Mitakides with 64% of the vote, his largest margin of victory in any election.

;2010
{{See also|2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio#District 3}}
Turner was challenged by first-time Democratic nominee 25-year-old Joe Roberts in the general election and won with 68% of the vote.

;2012
{{See also|2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio#District 10}}
After redistricting, Turner's district was renumbered the [[Ohio's 10th congressional district|10th district]]. It absorbed much of the neighboring [[Ohio's 7th congressional district|7th district]], represented by fellow Republican [[Steve Austria]]. The district was made significantly more compact than its predecessor, absorbing all of Dayton.

It initially looked like Turner would face Austria in a primary,<ref name=wdtn>{{cite web|url=http://www.wdtn.com/dpp/news/austria-turner-file-for-same-seat |title=Austria, Turner file for same seat |date=December 8, 2011 |access-date=December 31, 2011 |publisher=[[WDTN]] |first=Joe |last=Cogliano }} {{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> but Austria dropped out of the race, handing Turner the nomination.<ref>{{cite news |title=Austria drops bid for re-election |first=Joe |last=Cogliano |url=http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/news/2011/12/30/austria-drops-bid-for-re-election.html |newspaper=Dayton Business Journal |date=December 30, 2011 |access-date=December 30, 2011 |archive-date=January 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120110044758/http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/news/2011/12/30/austria-drops-bid-for-re-election.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Turner then defeated Democratic attorney Sharon Neuhardt with 60% of the vote.

Turner is a member of the [[United States House Committee on Armed Services|Armed Services]] and [[United States House Committee on Government Reform|Government Reform]] committees. In 2009, he was named Ranking Member on the Strategic Forces Subcommittee of the [[United States House Committee on Armed Services]].

In January 2003, Turner was appointed to the Armed Services Committee, a position he has used to advocate for the [[Wright-Patterson Air Force Base]] in his district, and to the Government Reform Committee.

Due to his urban background, focus on the economic redevelopment of cities, and service as Dayton's mayor, Turner is sometimes described as an "urban Republican". Recognizing Turner's work on urban development, then-House Speaker [[Dennis Hastert]] appointed Turner chair of the Saving America's Cities working group. The group was formed to work with the Bush administration to "foster economic development and redevelopment and streamline government services in America's cities to help them prosper and grow."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://usmayors.org/usmayornewspaper/documents/02_09_04/hastert.asp |title=Speaker Hastert Calls for Open Lines of Communication with Mayors |publisher=US Conference of Mayors |date=February 9, 2004 |access-date=August 23, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090404115336/http://www.usmayors.org/usmayornewspaper/documents/02_09_04/hastert.asp |archive-date=April 4, 2009 }}</ref>

During the 109th Congress, Turner served on the [[United States House Committee on Veterans' Affairs|House Veterans' Affairs Committee]], in addition to his work on his two other committees, the House Armed Services and Government Reform Committees.

Serving on the Armed Services Committee, Turner advocated for an expansion to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, providing testimony to the [[Base Realignment and Closure Commission]] (BRAC). This effort proved successful in 2008, when the Air Force announced that 1,000 jobs and over $230 million in federal funding would move to Wright-Patterson AFB. Turner has said that this is the largest single investment in Wright-Patterson since World War II.<ref>{{cite web |last=McAllister |first=Kristin |url=http://www.daytondailynews.com/b/content/oh/story/news/local/neighbors/2008/09/04/ddn090408gzturner.html |title=Dayton, Ohio, news and information |publisher=DaytonDailyNews |date=September 4, 2008 |access-date=August 23, 2010 |archive-date=June 22, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110622062449/http://www.daytondailynews.com/b/content/oh/story/news/local/neighbors/2008/09/04/ddn090408gzturner.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2006, the Dayton Development Coalition (DDC), a nonprofit and nominally nonpartisan group (though most of the trustees have contributed to Turner's campaigns) that advocates for federal funds for economic development in the Miami Valley,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.getmidwest.com/aboutUs/index.cfm?sectionID=au |title=Dayton Region |publisher=GetMidwest.com |date=February 1, 2009 |access-date=August 23, 2010 |archive-date=May 17, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517162746/http://www.getmidwest.com/aboutUs/index.cfm?sectionID=au |url-status=live }}</ref> began a regional branding campaign.

The DDC said that its members were "unanimous" in their decision that there was "no conflict [of interest]" in their having chosen Turner's company, but watchdog groups and media reports raised concerns about a possible conflict of interest.<ref name="daytondailynews.com"/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.daytondailynews.com/story/content/oh/story/news/local/2008/02/10/ddn021008turner1a.html |title=DaytonDailyNews: Dayton, Ohio, news and information<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=May 9, 2008 |archive-date=June 4, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604030037/http://www.daytondailynews.com/story/content/oh/story/news/local/2008/02/10/ddn021008turner1a.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In the same year, Turner's campaign committee Citizens for Turner contracted with Turner Effect for professional services, such as the production of literature.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/29095|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100407102818/http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/29095|url-status=dead|title=Crew Releases New Report Detailing House Chair, Ranking And Leadership Members’ Use Of Campaign Funds To Benefit Family &#124; Citizens For Responsibility And Ethics In Washington<!-- Bot generated title -->|archivedate=April 7, 2010}}</ref>

On July 7, 2008, Turner wrote an op-ed in the ''Hillsboro Times-Gazette'' in support of the [[Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008]], referred to as the GI Bill.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.timesgazette.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=154959&TM=34178.53 |title=GI bill helps veterans, families - the Times-Gazette - Hillsboro, OH |access-date=April 2, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717060548/http://www.timesgazette.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=154959&TM=34178.53 |archive-date=July 17, 2011 }}</ref> In May of that year, Turner opposed an earlier version of the GI Bill. Turner has been endorsed by the Veterans of Foreign Wars PAC.

In October 2008, Turner joined then Senator [[Hillary Clinton]], First Lady [[Laura Bush]], Senator [[Pete Domenici]] and Representative Brad Miller to announce the introduction of bipartisan legislation that would permanently authorize two historic preservation grant programs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.preserveamerica.gov/newsletter/november07/index.html |title=Preserve America News |publisher=Preserveamerica.gov |access-date=August 23, 2010 |archive-date=October 11, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101011024051/http://www.preserveamerica.gov/newsletter/november07/index.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The bill, H.R. 3981, would permanently authorize the programs known as "Save America's Treasures", established by the Clinton administration, and "[[Preserve America]]", established by the Bush administration. It was introduced in the House by Turner and Miller as co-chairs of the Congressional Historic Preservation Caucus and in the Senate by Clinton and Domenici.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.preserveamerica.gov/newsletter1107s1.html |title=Preserve America e-Newsletter |publisher=Preserveamerica.gov |date=October 31, 2007 |access-date=August 23, 2010 |archive-date=April 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210418214909/https://www.achp.gov/preserve-america |url-status=live }}</ref> The two grant programs are complementary. [[Preserve America]] supports "community efforts to demonstrate sustainable uses of their historic and cultural sites, focusing on economic and educational opportunities related to heritage tourism." The Save America's Treasures grant program "funds 'bricks-and-mortar' projects by helping local communities develop sustainable resource management strategies and sound business practices for the continued preservation and use of heritage assets."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.preserveamerica.gov/overview.html |title=Overview of Preserve America |publisher=Preserveamerica.gov |access-date=August 23, 2010 |archive-date=August 15, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100815002855/http://www.preserveamerica.gov/overview.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In June 2009, Turner introduced H.J. Res 57, the "Preserving Capitalism in America" amendment to the [[United States Constitution]]. This amendment, which has 104 cosponsors in the House, would prohibit the United States government from owning any stock in corporations.<ref>http://thomas.gov/home/gpoxmlc111/hj57_ih.xml {{Dead link|date=April 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The amendment did not become law.

In February 2010, Turner released a report on "The Impact of the Housing Crisis on Local Communities and the Federal Response" in conjunction with the Northeast-Midwest Institute and the Northeast-Midwest Congressional Coalition.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://turner.house.gov/UploadedFiles/Housing_Report_Part_1.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=May 3, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527235303/http://turner.house.gov/UploadedFiles/Housing_Report_Part_1.pdf |archive-date=May 27, 2010 }}</ref> The report included testimony and proposals from Dayton community leaders such as Commissioner Dean Lovelace and Miami Valley Fair Housing Center CEO Jim McCarthy, who participated in an August 2009 housing and foreclosure crisis forum in Dayton.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://turner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=173552 |title=Congressman Michael Turner – Proudly Serving Ohio's 3rd District |publisher=Turner.house.gov |access-date=August 23, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100804104402/http://turner.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=173552 |archive-date=August 4, 2010 }}</ref> Turner indicated he would offer legislation based on the recommendations of the report.

Turner voted against the [[Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act]] and the [[Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010]] and in the coming years repeatedly voted for its repeal. He opposed the "$1 trillion government takeover of our nation's health care system" because it would "increase budget deficits and decrease the quality of our health care services", he said.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/local-leaders-deride-bill-passed-by-house-612835.html |title=Local leaders deride bill passed by House |publisher=Daytondailynews.com |date=March 22, 2010 |access-date=August 23, 2010 |archive-date=April 13, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100413180417/http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/local-leaders-deride-bill-passed-by-house-612835.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2012, Turner called for a missile defense site on the east coast of the United States, to defend against missiles launched from Iran. The east coast site would be the third such site, joining two others on the west coast designed to defend against an attack from North Korea.<ref>Herb, Jeremy.

In 2018, Turner was named to the [[United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence]]. That year, Turner pushed for the establishment of the [[National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence]] in Ohio, catalyzing the facility's eventual construction at the [[Springfield–Beckley Municipal Airport]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-08-25 |title=Turner helps mark construction of new National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence - Ripon Advance |url=https://riponadvance.com/featured/turner-helps-mark-construction-of-new-national-advanced-air-mobility-center-of-excellence/ |access-date=2024-02-11 |language=en-US}}</ref>

After the [[Dayton shooting]] in August 2019, Turner announced he would back legislation barring the "sale of military-style weapons to civilians" and also said he would support a limit on magazines and the creation of legislation that would keep guns from people deemed dangerous by the police. He had previously "generally backed gun-rights measures during his nine terms in the House", earning a 93% approval and "A" rating from the [[NRA Political Victory Fund]] (NRA-PVF) in prior years.<ref name="A" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Your Freedom is Under Attack!

In February 2022, Turner promoted debunked lies about the pleadings [[John Durham]] filed as special prosecutor, claiming that they proved that [[Hillary Clinton]] "spied" on Trump's presidential campaign and on Trump's White House. Durham denied in open court that these allegations are a truthful interpretation of his pleadings, but Turner continued to publicly disseminate the allegations.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hains |first=Tim |date=February 13, 2022 |url=https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/02/13/gop_rep_mike_turner_special_counsel_durham_has_evidence_hillary_clinton_basically_tried_to_frame_trump_about_russia.html |title=GOP Rep.

Following accusations that [[FBI search of Mar-a-Lago|Donald Trump had kept classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after his presidency ended]], Turner said on Fox News that he thought the matter was "more like a bookkeeping issue than it is a national security threat".<ref name="nyt-bw-aug-22">{{cite news |last1=Broadwater |first1=Luke |title=Republicans Signal Worries About Trump and the Midterms |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/28/us/politics/republicans-trump-search.html |access-date=29 August 2022 |work=The New York Times |date=August 28, 2022}}</ref>

On March 18, 2024, Turner indicated that he did not believe [[Donald Trump]] had been calling for violence when he used the word "blood bath" in a speech. "The president's statements concerning 'blood bath' were about what would happen in the auto industry if actually the Chinese manufacturers who are coming into Mexico were permitted to import into the United States," Turner said.<ref>{{cite web |last=Astor |first=Maggie |date=March 18, 2024 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/18/us/politics/trump-blood-bath-auto-industry.html |title=Trump Defends His Warning of a 'Blood Bath for the Country' |website=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=March 19, 2024}}</ref>

==== Sutorina dispute involvement ====
On March 3, 2015, Montenegrin, Bosnian, and other Balkan-based news agencies reported that Turner had involved himself in the [[Sutorina dispute]] between [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia]] and [[Montenegro]], sending a letter of warning to [[Bosniak]] member of the [[Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina]] [[Bakir Izetbegovic]] in which he suggested that if Bosnia did not give up its territorial dispute over Sutorina the United States might suspend its aid to Bosnia.<ref>{{cite web |date=March 3, 2015 |title=American congressman Michael Turner warns Bosnia over territorial dispute with Montenegro |url=http://www.bosniatoday.ba/american-congressman-michael-turner-warns-bosnia-over-territorial-dispute-with-montenegro/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402160828/http://www.bosniatoday.ba/american-congressman-michael-turner-warns-bosnia-over-territorial-dispute-with-montenegro/ |archive-date=April 2, 2015 |website=Bosnia Today}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=March 3, 2015 |title=Montenegro Press Review |url=http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/montenegro-press-review-march-3-2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150304094717/http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/montenegro-press-review-march-3-2015 |archive-date=March 4, 2015 |access-date=March 3, 2015 |website=Balkan Insight.com}}</ref> The dispute was later resolved peacefully, with Bosnia ultimately dismissing its claims.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sutorina ostala crnogorska |url=https://www.novosti.rs/vesti/planeta.300.html:602405-Sutorina-ostala-crnogorska |access-date=2025-03-14 |website=NOVOSTI |language=sr}}</ref>

==== 2025 Bosnian Constitutional Crisis and Republika Srpska–Dayton Accords Dispute ====

== Controversies ==
===Allegations of self-enrichment===
In both 2008 and 2010, Turner was listed as one of the "most corrupt members of Congress" by the [[Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington]] for "enrichment of self, family, or friends" and "solicitation of gifts".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/crew-releases-fourth-annual-most-corrupt-members-of-congress-report/|title=Crew Releases Fourth Annual Most Corrupt Members of Congress Report|website=CREW|language=en-US|access-date=January 28, 2019|archive-date=September 25, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180925120748/https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/crew-releases-fourth-annual-most-corrupt-members-of-congress-report/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/crew-26-lawmakers-corrupting-halls-congress/|title=CREW: House and Senate Ethics Committees Protecting the Most Corrupt Members of Congress|website=CREW|language=en-US|access-date=January 28, 2019|archive-date=January 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190128135604/https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/crew-26-lawmakers-corrupting-halls-congress/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

According to analysis conducted by the ''[[Dayton Daily News]]'' in 2016,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/national-govt--politics/most-come-congress-rich-and-then-get-richer-analysis-shows/JWJBTtnLbHSM6gvFAIDyPP/|title=Most come to Congress rich, and then get richer, analysis shows|last=Jessica Wehrman|first=Washington Bureau|website=daytondailynews|language=en|access-date=January 28, 2019|archive-date=October 1, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171001171804/https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/national-govt--politics/most-come-congress-rich-and-then-get-richer-analysis-shows/JWJBTtnLbHSM6gvFAIDyPP/|url-status=live}}</ref> when Turner came to Congress in 2002, he reported between $153,026 and $695,000 worth of assets on his financial disclosure form. In 2016, he claimed between $2.8 million and $10.3 million. The paper credited his second marriage to an energy lobbyist as a contributing reason for the increase, since her assets as well as his were listed on his 2016 financial disclosure form. Their relationship raised red flags<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mydaytondailynews.com/news/national-govt--politics/turner-says-fiancee-business-dealings-pose-conflict/Te8SPvivz2nAnfsxbCSAvO/|title=Turner says fiancee's business dealings pose no conflict|last=Josh Sweigart|first=Staff Writer|website=mydaytondailynews|language=en|access-date=January 28, 2019|archive-date=January 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190128191033/https://www.mydaytondailynews.com/news/national-govt--politics/turner-says-fiancee-business-dealings-pose-conflict/Te8SPvivz2nAnfsxbCSAvO/|url-status=live}}</ref> when Turner was accused of authoring natural gas legislation that might benefit her employer at the time, [[Cheniere Energy]].

===Absence of local town halls===

==Personal life==
In 1987, Turner married Lori Turner, a health executive. They have two daughters. After 25 years of marriage, they announced their separation in 2012 and divorced in 2013.<ref>{{cite news |date=November 29, 2012 |title=Congressman Mike Turner, wife separating |url=http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/local/congressman-mike-turner-wife-separating/s1Xwq8aGYxcPApYro2wTIP/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612233001/https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/local/congressman-mike-turner-wife-separating/s1Xwq8aGYxcPApYro2wTIP/ |archive-date=June 12, 2018 |access-date=February 19, 2018 |newspaper=Dayton Daily News}}</ref>

Turner married Majida Mourad on December 19, 2015, at Westminster Presbyterian Church in downtown Dayton.<ref name="Congressman Turner married Saturday">{{cite news|url=http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/local-govt--politics/congressman-turner-married-saturday-dayton/v3fQBiJc86D2d75pmEVOhI/|title=Congressman Turner married Saturday in Dayton|date=December 19, 2015|newspaper=Dayton Daily News|access-date=February 19, 2018|archive-date=February 20, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180220151935/http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/local-govt--politics/congressman-turner-married-saturday-dayton/v3fQBiJc86D2d75pmEVOhI/|url-status=live}}</ref> Representative [[Darrell Issa]] was a groomsman at the wedding. In May 2017, after less than two years of marriage, Turner filed for divorce, alleging that Mourad was "guilty of a fraudulent contract". As part of the acrimonious divorce, Turner's lawyers wrote to Issa "stating they would like to depose" him, but lawyers for both sides later released a statement that "Majida Mourad and Congressman Michael Turner have come to a resolution".<ref name="Politico">{{cite news|url=https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/12/issa-deposition-sought-in-turner-divorce-case-405990|title=GOP congressman pulls Issa into ugly divorce|last1=Bresnahan|first1=John|date=February 12, 2018|publisher=[[Politico]]|last2=Sherman|first2=Jake|last3=Bade|first3=Rachael|author-link3=Rachael Bade|access-date=February 22, 2018|archive-date=February 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180223110924/https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/12/issa-deposition-sought-in-turner-divorce-case-405990|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="politico.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/02/mike-turner-darrell-issa-divorce-case-433869|title=Turner settles divorce case, so Issa won't be deposed|last1=BRESNAHAN|first1=JOHN|last2=BADE|first2=RACHAEL|website=Politico|access-date=March 2, 2018|last3=SHERMAN|first3=JAKE|date=March 2, 2018 |archive-date=March 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180302235154/https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/02/mike-turner-darrell-issa-divorce-case-433869|url-status=live}}</ref>
