Another candidate for Warren County Prosecutor submitted qualifying documents late Tuesday evening — and he might be a familiar face.

Stephen L. McMillin, formerly appointed to the office by the Warren County Board of Supervisors in 2021, will run for the office on the Republican ticket.

This will be McMillin’s second campaign for the position of county prosecuting attorney, and he said he’s ready.

“I still have all my signs,” he said.

On a serious note, McMillin said he believes he has the experience necessary to do the job — and the support of Warren County.

“I think the Board of Supervisors had confidence in me back then, and here I am — ready to run again,” he said. “I’ve already done it, I know what I need to do and I think this is my year.”

In addition to previously holding the position, McMillan has practiced law in Vicksburg for 12 years and works part-time as a city prosecutor in addition to maintaining his private law practice.
