| Bob Mills Biography: I am a graduate of Texas Wesleyan University with a degree in Political Science, first began his political journey when he ran for an open city council seat in Arlington, Texas in 1995. This was a hot seat to obtain, and I came in fifth out 5 candidates. It was a learning experience. After college, I relocated to New England, settling first in Berwick then to Biddeford. After being involved in several committees and commissions in 2005 I decided my hand again at local politics. I ran for both School Committee and City Charter Commissioner as a write-in candidate. I won the Charter seat by 5 votes, but lost the School Committee seat by 10 votes. In 2007, I won an open contested City Council seat with 79% of the vote. There were 2 other candidates running for the seat. .. .. In 2008, after much consideration I ran against a 28 year Republican incumbent for the York County Register of Probate position. Both myself and the incumbent were uncontested in the primary season earning us both a slot on the November General Election ballot. When the tallies were finally complete on the day after election the incumbent succeeded in a very close election. It was her 54% (53258) win to my 46% (45631). We were both humbled I would have to say........ In 2009, I was reelected to continue to serve Ward 5 on the City Council with 100% of the vote. I am honored and humbled to continue to serve. Equally serving as the Council President for the next 2 years is an honor and privilege. After sitting on the council for the last almost 4 years, I have seen how we as a City need a strong voice for funding and representation. Every budget year it is increasingly difficult. To make that change in 2010, I sought to represent the City of Biddeford in August as a State Representative for House District 136. The voters chose to keep me here in Biddeford and on the council by 66 votes. I have fought strong and hard to honor that trust and commitment. Over the months I will adjust this website to reflect the policies and other items that I and others helped get accomplished for this great City. Mills is married to his beautiful wife Heather and together they reside in Biddeford with their sons, Trenton and Cooper. He is completing his Master's in Management & Leadership from Liberty University. |
| Why I am running for a third term? I have been on the Biddeford City Council since 2007 and most recently serving as it's Council President . "I am seeking this seat to continue to represent the people of our great city. It's important to listen and act to what our people want. I have been in the trenches and suffered the same as our people in Biddeford. It's time for representation by a person that has walked in your shoes and struggled along side you. I would appreciate your continued support." |
