Millis picked as Libertarian’s ninth district nominee: Will run against Republican and Democratic nominees in November

Over the weekend, Lawrence County resident Tonya Millis was selected to serve as the Libertarian Party’s candidate in Indiana’s 9th Congressional District for the U.S. House of Representatives during the party’s state convention in Indianapolis.

Millis is a resident of Lawrence County and realtor with Suddarth and Company Real Estate in Mitchell.

“I am pleased to get the nomination from the Libertarian Party to represent Indiana’s 9th District as a U.S. Congressional candidate,” Millis said in a news release “I look forward to talking with the people and am excited about my message out to the community.”

Millis will face the Republican and Democratic nominee in the race during the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Currently, there are five Democrats running for the party’s nomination during the May 5 Primary.

Incumbent Trey Hollingsworth (R-District 9), is the lone Republican running in the GOP’s Primary Election.

The state’s 9th Congressional District includes portions of Morgan County.

The state’s Libertarian Party also selected Don Rainwater as its nominee for governor and William Henry as Rainwater’s running mate.

The Libertarian Party of Morgan County was also honored at the state convention as the Bill Bean County Affiliate of the Year.
