Considered a [[Moderate Republican]], Mills came under fire in September 2020 from the conservative [[radio]] commentator [[Moon Griffon]], who questioned Mills' close ties to Democratic [[Governor]] [[John Bel Edwards]] and former Public Service Commissioner [[Scott Angelle]], another Democrat-turned-Republican who refused to support the 2015 gubernatorial runoff candidate, former U.S. Senator [[David Vitter]], after Angelle himself was eliminated in the primary. Angelle now serves in the [[Donald Trump]] administration. Griffon said that though he personally likes Mills he believes that the senator lacks compassion for people who have suffered economic effects from the [[Coronavirus]] [[pandemic]]. Griffon has called for the reopening of the semi-closed Louisiana economy, but Edwards and Mills have been hesitant to do so. Griffon said that those who wish to keep controls on the economy are almost entirely persons who have not suffered economic consequences from the shutdown.<ref>''[[Moon Griffon|The Moon Griffon Show]],'' September 25, 2020.</ref>
