Lawrence County real estate broker running for Congress as Libertarian

A Lawrence County resident and real estate broker is running for Congress.

Tonya Millis is seeking the Libertarian Party’s nomination to represent Indiana’s 9th Congressional District.

According to a news release, Millis knows the ins and outs of Hoosier life and as Indiana’s 9th District representative she would bring her voice and lifelong Hoosier experience to Washington, D.C. She added that the problems created in Washington are not helping people in the district who work hard to make ends meet.

“The rules, regulations and runaway debt placed on the citizenry is a hindrance and hardship for both individuals and small businesses,” Millis said in the release.

Millis currently works at Suddarth & Co. Real Estate in Mitchell. She said her job has allowed her to work with many individuals from different walks of life. She has served on state and local committees and boards including as president of the Bedford Board of Realtors in 2013.

Prior to getting her real estate license, she worked five years as an aid in the nurse’s office at Brown County High School. She also has experience working in the insurance industry at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Indianapolis.

“For most of my adult life, I considered myself a Republican,” Millis said in the release. “This party was considered to be the party of limited government, low taxes and low debt. It has not been this way for a long time now.”

Millis added after becoming an independent in May 2016, she began researching the Libertarian Party. She said while reading the party’s platform, she realized that she had been a Libertarian all along and didn’t even know it.
