Amber Mills completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Mills' responses.
| Collapse all
- I don't just talk about conservative values; I have an eight-year voting record to prove them. I have consistently opposed tax hikes, including the wheel tax, and fought for the responsible use of public funds. In Nashville, I will be a firewall against government overreach and a tireless advocate for keeping Tennessee a low-tax state.
- I am a staunch supporter of our first responders and believe that safe neighborhoods are the foundation of a thriving community. I spearheaded the effort to audit Memphis-Shelby County Schools to root out fraud and waste, and I will continue to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used effectively to protect our citizens and prioritize our children’s education.
- I successfully led the expansion of the Shelby County Office of Veterans Services from a single officer to a full team of ten, which earned me the 2024 Commissioner's Eagle Award. I am dedicated to eliminating the bureaucratic hurdles that prevent our heroes from accessing the healthcare and benefits they earned through their sacrifice.
