LEBANON – Former state Representative Terry Mills, who was first elected to the 24th House District in 2010 and served for six years, announced today that he has filed for another two-year term.
“After a lot of deliberation and prayerful consideration, and with the support of my family and friends, I have decided to ask the voters of Marion, Green and LaRue counties for another chance to be their voice in the Kentucky House of Representatives,” Mills said. “I was honored to fight for them and will do all I can to turn back policies that, in just a year’s time, have already taken so much from our working families and schools. How our current representative can support that, I will never understand, but I know we deserve better.”
House Democratic Leader Rocky Adkins called Mills “the perfect type of legislator. He showed up early, stayed late, and did his homework. His door was always open, and no one worked harder for their district. It really matters who sits in these seats in the House chamber, and the people of Kentucky need more leaders like Terry in them.”
During his tenure, Mills served as House chairman of the Capital Planning Advisory Board, which reviews state government’s long-term infrastructure needs, and the Program Review and Investigations Committee, which produces a handful of extensively researched reports each year on state policy matters.
He also was active in promoting the region’s growing bourbon industry and was a leading voice on educational and agricultural legislation and on such issues as banning texting while driving.
“My goal this campaign is to make sure the voters know who the candidates really are, what we believe and what each plans to do as state representative,” Mills said. “I will certainly do all I can to give voters a clear and better choice this November. I’m looking forward to meeting many of them again in the months ahead.”
Terry Mills worked 35 years for the Social Security Administration and has been married 47 years to Patty (Lee) Mills. They have 3 children and 7 grandchildren, and are members of St Augustine Catholic Church in Lebanon.
