Paul Grey Mills Jr.[2] is an American politician who has served as a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives representing the 95th district from 2009 to 2013 and again since 2021. Mills defeated incumbent Karen Ray in the 2008 primary, and served for 2 terms in the NC House from 2009 until 2013. In 2012, Mills sought the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor, but he lost to eventual winner Dan Forest.[3] Following then incumbent Republican John Fraley's decision not to seek re-election to the state house in 2020, Mills sought election to his old seat and won.[4]

In May 2021, Mills voted for North Carolina House bill 453 which prohibited abortion based on race, sex, or suspected disability.[5] In March 2021, he voted for House bill 134 which authorized possession of firearms on school grounds.[6]
