GOP nominee for governor Daniel Cameron has named State Senator Robby Mills as his running mate in the November election.
Mills, a native of Henderson, has served in the Kentucky Senate since 2019 and also served a term in the state house. He was also a City Commissioner in Henderson from 1998-2016.
“As your Attorney General I’ve shown I will always defend Kentucky values and I’ve found that same conviction in Robby Mills who will be Kentucky’s next Lieutenant Governor,” Cameron said in a release. “Robby Mills is a strong conservative with a history of beating legacy Democrats in a historically strong Democrat region. He is a respected state senator, business owner, and man of faith.”
He joins Cameron on the ticket looking to defeat incumbent Democratic Governor Andy Beshear.
“I am humbled to have been asked to serve alongside Daniel Cameron as Lieutenant Governor for the Commonwealth of Kentucky,” Mills said. “When the General Assembly passed laws that limited Beshear’s overreaching powers and reflected the will of our constituents, Daniel successfully defended those laws. It is imperative we have leadership in Kentucky who will actually work with the General Assembly on real solutions.”
Beshear responded to the announcement on Twitter saying, “My opponent’s first major campaign decision is to pick a lieutenant governor candidate who helped lead the charge to enact Matt Bevin’s plan to slash pensions for our teachers, police, and firefighters. That couldn’t be further from my values—and the values of Kentuckians.”
The 2023 gubernatorial election in Kentucky will be held on November 7.
