County Commissioner Lou Miller said Thursday she will seek a full four-year term for the District 6 long held by her husband, Ben Miller.
Commissioner Miller assumed the seat after the death of her husband.
She made comments at a County Commission meeting after a portrait of Ben Miller was presented to her and her children by Stan Baker.
Commissioner Miller called her late husband "the most unassuming man I have ever known. He helped a lot of people, and I have tried very hard to follow his example.
"It is time to move on and to seek a full four-year term of my own."
Attorney John Brooks, a former chairman of the Hamilton County Democratic Party, said he plans to run for the seat also.
