Millett is a Democratic State Senator from Maine's 29th District, representing South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and part of Scarborough. From 2004–2010, Millett served on the Cape Elizabeth School Board. She won a primary for Senate 29 over South Portland Representative Bryan Kaenrath in June 2012[1] and was first elected to the Maine State Senate the following November after defeating Republican Mike Wallace.[2] The seat was held by Larry Bliss until his mid-term resignation in 2011.
