→Election to the state Senate
In May 2021, Mills, who campaigned two years earlier as a conservative, joined five other North Louisiana state senators previously considered conservatives, [[Barrow Peacock]], [[Jay Morris]], [[Barry Milligan]], [[Mike Reese]], and [[Stewart Cathey]], in voting to extend a $400 million temporary state sales tax (.45 percent) even though the state is awaiting a windfall in federal [[coronavirus]] stimulus funding. Mills' vote was even in contrast to the Democratic Senator [[Greg Tarver]] of Caddo Parish, who opposed the tax extension.<ref>''[[Moon Griffon|The Moon Griffon Show]],'' May 28, 2021.</ref>

Mills is opposed for Senate reelection on October 12, 2023, by another Republican, Adam Bass, an insurance agent and a member of the Bossier Parish School Board who maintains that Mills is not as reliably conservative as is Bass.
