Robby Mills
Robby Mills (born 1967) is a conservative state senator in Kentucky who was picked on July 19, 2023 to be the running mate to run for Lieutenant Governor on the same ticket as Daniel Cameron in his race for governor. His humble background includes running a family dry cleaners business.
In 2016, Mills defeated a Dem incumbent and thereby helped the GOP win control of the Kentucky House of Representatives.[1] He then served in the Kentucky House of Representatives from 2017 to 2019, representing District 11.
Next, in 2018, Mills defeated another Dem incumbent, this time in the Kentucky Senate.[2] Mills has represented Senate District 4 since Jan. 1, 2019, and his current term will expire on Jan. 1, 2027, based on his reelection by a landslide on Nov. 8, 2022.
He is a leader against the transgender agenda and successfully introduced legislation to protect children against such operations. He is also pro-energy, defending coal use.
The Associated Press wrote:
| “ | Mills led the legislative fight to ban transgender girls and women from participating in school sports matching their gender identity. Beshear vetoed the bill, prompting successful override votes by the legislature. On the campaign trail, Cameron has hammered away at the governor’s veto.
Mills also sponsored bills to defend the state’s coal industry and require Kentucky residents to show a government-issued photo ID in order to vote. Cameron plays up his own support for the coal sector.[2] |
