State Sen. Robby Mills, who GOP gubernatorial nominee Attorney General Daniel Cameron tapped as his running mate Wednesday, is a longtime public official in Western Kentucky. He spent 16 years on the Henderson City Commission starting in 1998 before serving a term in the Kentucky House, then winning election to Senate District 4 in a one-point 2018 win over an incumbent Democrat. In 2022, he won re-election to a second term by 33 percentage points. At an event announcing Mills’ addition to the ticket, Cameron praised Mills as “rock-ribbed conservative with a history of beating legacy Democrats in a historically strong Democrat region.”

WHAT IS ROBBY MILLS’ LEGISLATIVE RECORD? In the legislature, Mills has been focused on energy policy, elections and cultural issues important to conservatives. In 2022, Mills was the primary sponsor of Senate Bill 3, which redistricted the state’s U.S. Congressional map following the 2020 census – that map is still being challenged by the Kentucky Democratic Party, which says it’s gerrymandered. He also sponsored a bill that passed in 2020 requiring voters to show a government-issued photo ID before voting. He’s also passed high-priority GOP legislation on abortion and transgender issues. In 2022, he brought former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines – who has become a key figure in the conservative push against transgender athletes participating in sports that correspond with their gender identity – to the Capitol to help promote his bill banning transgender girls and women from womens sports. That bill passed despite a veto from Gov. Andy Beshear.

More balanced that I expected. Coming from Lexington. I expected a major hit piece. Though they did include the usual Rat slime in the last section.
Perhaps 2028.

And you are right - although they merely just reported what people said rather than editorializing upon it.
