Ballotpedia survey responses
- See also: Ballotpedia's candidate surveys
Adam Miller participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 29, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Adam Miller's responses follow below.[9]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | Crime - The reckless policies of Sacramento have put our law abiding citizens in harm's way. This must change.
Care for the Homeless - Boondoggle projects, like Brown's Bullet Train, burn taxpayer funds which could be used to for services for the homeless. Affordability - The out-of-control tax and spend behavior of Sacramento has left California residents with a lower quality of life. One in five Californians live below the poverty line. Many are leaving the state due to financial struggles or the climate of business unfriendliness. We must force Sacramento to hit the books, cut the waste and put funds towards programs that work for California residents. No more taxes[10][11] |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | SB 54 (The Sanctuary State Bill) is an example of corrupt Sacramento politicians disregarding the California citizens. Make no mistake. SB 54 does not protect good law abiding migrants. The good law abiding migrants from Mexico have been historically protected by California law enforcement. SB 54 seeks to protect the same violent criminals who the migrants needed to escape. SB 54 is bad for Mexican-Americans.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[11]

” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Adam Miller answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery and founded the Republican Party. There is no greater legacy than that of one who stamps out evil.[11] | ” |
| “ | Honesty and integrity.[11] | ” |

Miller is a former district-level delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from California. Miller's name appeared on a preliminary list of California delegates but not on the finalized list.
Delegate rules
Republican presidential candidates were responsible for selecting their own delegates from California to the national convention. California state law required delegates to support the winner of the California Republican primary election unless that candidate received less than 10 percent of the vote at the convention in the first round of voting; or if the candidate released them; or if voting at the convention proceeded to a third round.

Delegate allocation
California had 172 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 159 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's 53 congressional districts). California's district delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the plurality winner in a given congressional district won all of that district's delegates.[12][13]
Of the remaining 13 delegates, 10 served at large. California's at-large delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the plurality winner of the statewide primary vote received all of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates were required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's primary.[12][13]
