According to a news release, McMillan has been the city's mayor since 2012, during which he led projects including renovations at Spirit Park, the Spanish Fort Community Center, and the widening of U.S. Highway 31.
Before he became mayor, McMillan served as a planning commission member, director of cooperative improvement districts, and a city council member.

'Whether it's working to keep our citizens safe or providing recreational, educational, or business opportunities to enhance quality of life for our families, I've done my best to help keep the City of Spanish Fort moving forward,' McMillan said.
'There is always more to be done, and I ask the people of Spanish Fort to allow me to serve them for four more years. I'm excited about our plans for additional sidewalks on Jimmy Faulkner and Spanish Main, as well as new recreation facilities — including pickleball courts now under construction and future ballparks to serve our youth — all while continuing to plan for and manage growth.'
Along with being Spanish Fort's mayor, McMillan also serves on multiple boards, including the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce, Eastern Shore MPO, the Alabama State Veterans Memorial Cemetery at Spanish Fort, Prodisee Pantry, and the Alabama League of Municipalities.
