MARION COUNTY — Only one candidate is currently seeking the Marion County State’s Attorney’s seat in the 2020 election after its current occupant has announced he’ll not seek reelection.

After just one term in office, Bill Milner has announced his decision to return to private practice next year.

Milner’s decision leaves Republican Tim Hudspeth as the only candidate seeking to replace Milner.

Hudspeth’s father John Hudspeth is the current state’s attorney in Clinton County and has also announced he will not be seeking reelection.
