Trade adjustment assistance
Yea3.png On June 12, 2015, the House rejected the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015—by a vote of 126-302. Trade adjustment assistance (TAA) is a federal program providing American workers displaced by foreign trade agreements with job training and services. The measure was packaged with trade promotion authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority. TPA is a legislative procedure that allows Congress to define "U.S. negotiating objectives and spells out a detailed oversight and consultation process for during trade negotiations. Under TPA, Congress retains the authority to review and decide whether any proposed U.S. trade agreement will be implemented," according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Miller was one of 86 Republicans to vote in favor of TAA.[8][9]
Trade promotion authority
Yea3.png On June 12, 2015, the House passed the trade promotion authority (TPA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015 —by a vote of 219-211. TPA gives the president fast-track authority to negotiate trade agreements sent to Congress without the opportunity for amendment or filibuster. Although the House approved TPA, it was a largely symbolic vote given the measure was part of a package trade bill including trade adjustment assistance (TAA), which was rejected earlier the same day. Miller was one of 191 Republicans to support the measure.[10][11]

The amendment passed by a vote of 218-208, with all voting members of the House maintaining their original positions on TPA except for Ted Yoho (R-Fla.). Miller was one of 190 Republicans to vote in favor of the amendment.[12][13]
Trade adjustment assistance second vote
Yea3.png The House passed HR 1295—the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015—on June 25, 2015, by a vote of 286-138. The Senate packaged trade adjustment assistance (TAA) in this bill after the House rejected the TAA measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015. Along with trade promotion authority (TPA), which Congress passed as part of HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—TAA became law on June 29, 2015. Miller was one of 111 Republicans to vote in favor of HR 1295.[14][15]

HR 3460 prohibited "the President, prior to January 21, 2017, from: limiting the application of specified sanctions on Iran or refraining from applying any such sanctions; or removing a foreign person (including entities) listed in Attachments 3 or 4 to Annex II of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPA) from the list of designated nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the Treasury."

Full history


Campaign themes

2012

Below are five issues which were highlighted by Miller on her campaign website.[86]

  • Promoting job growth and getting our economy moving again

Excerpt: "There is no issue of greater importance in our nation than growing our economy to allow for new job creation. Ever bigger government which places onerous new burdens on job providers is one of the greatest impediments to new job growth."[87]

  • Keeping taxes low and fighting out of control spending

Excerpt: "The federal budget deficit has exceeded over $1.4 trillion for each of the past two years. Candice Miller does not believe that we have these out of control deficits because the American people’s taxes are too low – she believes we have these deficits because the federal government spends too much."[88]

  • Defending Our Nation

Excerpt: "In order to protect our nation and the freedom that we all hold dear Candice Miller believes we must ensure that our military remains strong. Throughout her career she has made it a priority to ensure that the United States military remains the best trained, best equipped and most lethal fighting force in the world."[89]

  • Making health care more affordable and accessible

Excerpt: Miller outlines a five point program: "Repeal Obamacare," "Help those with pre-existing conditions receive coverage," "Enact market-based reforms that will lower costs," "Expand use of health savings accounts" and "Protect Medicare."[90]

  • Protecting the Great Lakes

Excerpt: Miller outlines a three point program: "Protecting Drinking Water," "Fighting Invasive Species" and "Standing Strong against Asian Carp."[91]

Personal Gain Index

Congressional Personal Gain Index graphic.png
See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:

PGI: Change in net worth

See also: Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index) and Net worth of United States Senators and Representatives
Net Worth Metric graphic.png

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Miller's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $584,664 and $2,154,650. That averages to $1,369,657, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $$7,614,097.96. Miller ranked as the 182nd most wealthy representative in 2012.[92] Between 2004 and 2012, Miller's calculated net worth[93] increased by an average of 7 percent per year.

Candice Miller Yearly Net Worth

2004$873,295
2012$1,369,657
Growth from 2004 to 2012:57%

Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[96]

The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

PGI: Donation Concentration Metric

See also: The Donation Concentration Metric (U.S. Congress Personal Gain Index)

Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Miller received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Automotive industry. Miller is a member of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
