Campaign themes
2011
Miller's 2011 special election Facebook page emphasizes record as Essex First Selectman:
- "Connecticut faces an unprecedented budget crisis with many tough choices to make in the coming months. As First Selectman of Essex I know what is at stake and how important it is that we have an experienced voice advocating for us in Hartford. That's why I'm running for State Representative. I've fought for responsible, balanced budgets that helped keep Essex taxes among the lowest in the state. My record as a problem solver, working with Republicans, Democrats and Independents is well established. I've proven I know how to make an implement difficulty decisions. I also know when the state has to do its part and I'll fight to make sure they keep their promises."

Scorecards
Yankee Institute's Voter Guide
- See also: Yankee Institute's Voter Guide
The Yankee Institute, a pro-market think tank, releases its Voter Guide after each two-year legislative term. Each member of the Connecticut General Assembly receives a score from 0 to 10 based on how he or she voted in ten key votes. The Institute selects key votes which "reveal the differences between those legislators that would harness the power of individual liberty and the market to improve lives, and those that prefer a centrally-planned approach." A legislator with a 10 voted in agreement with the Yankee Institute on all 10 votes, while a legislator with a 0 voted against the Yankee Institute's views or was absent for all 10 votes.[8]
2012
Miller received a score of 0 on the Yankee Institute's Voter Guide for 2011-12, tied with 72 others for the lowest score among the 152 scored members of the Connecticut House of Representatives. He did not receive a score for the 2009-10 term because he was not yet in the legislature.[8]
