MEET YOUR CANDIDATE
PEOPLE PURSUE law enforcement and politics for a variety of reasons. Democrat sheriff candidate Major Tommy Mills reasons are unmistakable: his commitment to his hometown and the desire to make it a better place to live. His first priority is to reduce Leon County's crime rate, which as been the highest in Florida for the past five years. His almost 40 years of experience includes serving as a Florida Highway Auxiliary Trooper, a Leon County Deputy Sheriff (Retired Captain after 24 years), and Gadsden County Sheriff Office Major in charge of Criminal Investigations, Internal Affair, Court Services, Reserve Deputies and Citizen on Patrol Units. This exposure gives him the unique experience needed to be Leon County's next Sheriff and to stand up the criminals that have tarnished the reputation of our community.
Due to egregious criminal presence and activities, all eyes from around the country are on Leon County. Our sheriff’s Office appears broken, leadership has failed and it’s time for real change. Our challenges have never been greater in Leon County; however, challenge gives rise to opportunity. Tommy has a proactive plan that will make Leon County and all its citizen safe again. He and Kim, his wife of forty-one years, raised three daughters here. They all attended college here. One daughter is an Attorney, another is a Speech Therapist and the third is a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Now, Tommy's goal is to see a safe way of life return for all of those growing up in our community, including his very own grandson. . Tommy attended public school in Leon County. He also attended Lively Vo-Tech, Tallahassee Community College, and the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy where he received his Correctional Officer and Law Enforcement Officer certifications. He received further training from the University of Northwestern (Law Enforcement Field Training Officer), the University of Louisville (Mounted Policeman) and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (Chief Executive Institute). Tommy has also served as a Law Enforcement Instructor for General Studies and Human Diversity Studies. |
