A lifelong resident of the district, Miller’s family roots go back nearly 300 years in the River Parishes.

Miller has made continuous efforts to support law enforcement and public safety.

This past legislative session, he sponsored legislation which created the River Parishes Juvenile Justice District, a regional approach for the detention and housing of juveniles accused of crimes. In 2021, he was recognized by the Louisiana Sheriff’s Association with its Legislative Leadership Award.
He has consistently supported higher funding for teachers and education, as well as increases for support personnel and cost of living increases for retired teachers. A conscientious steward of the taxpayers’ dollars, in each of his years of service in the House of Representatives, Miller has returned money to the state from his legislative office expense account.

Long Legislative Service Award (from the Louisiana Child Support Enforcement Association) for his package of legislation concerning child support enforcement laws.
