Favourite Music / Books ?
I grew up on country music and classic rock. 'Guess how much I love you', my mom used to read it with me.   

What is the proudest moment of your life or most memorable day?
I have a passion for singing and vividly recall my first public performance. My entire extended family were there and it was a very special moment.   

Describe yourself
Positive, spontaneous, open minded and outgoing person. I've never met a stranger and enjoy meeting new people.   

Favourite food ?
Pasta - I love Italian food but no meat. I am a vegetarian.   

Do you have any pets ?
One boston terrier that has a huge personality and one blind toy poodle that's 13 years old.   

Future ambitions ?
I intend to travel the world and pursue a career in landscape and architectural photography. Study at college for a degree in photography.   

Special Talents ?
Singing.   

Tell us a little something about your Country ?
The USA is a melting pot for all cultures. My home town is famous for the Kentucky Derby Horse Race.

Sounds like Mills would make a better Louisville mayor than either of the top two contenders. According to The Today Show, "the contestants nicknamed her 'KFC' for Kentucky Fried Chicken, which is 'Ironic,' she said, 'because I’m a vegetarian.'"
