Campaign website

Miller’s campaign website stated the following:

“

Issues
As Barry Goldwater once said “My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.” There are too many laws, too many regulations, too many taxes!
I want you to have the freedom to live your life without interference from the government. CATO Institute recently ranked Texas 49th out of 50 states in personal freedom. I know we can do better than that! Texans are proud and independent. I want to get the government off your back!

Government Overreach and Individual Freedom
My top priority is to reduce government intrusion by repealing unnecessary laws, regulations, and taxes. This will empower individuals to live freely, without excessive government burdens stifling their personal and economic choices.

Climate Change and Market Innovation
Government regulation is not the answer to climate change. Instead, we should incentivize private sector innovation and property rights to find sustainable solutions, reducing the federal role and promoting individual and market-based efforts.

Immigration Reform
We need to streamline the legal immigration process, making it faster and more efficient for people who want to contribute to our economy. I also advocate for ending drug prohibition, which fuels cartel violence and dangerous border crossings, ensuring safer, orderly immigration.

Fiscal Responsibility and Inflation
The rising cost of living is a direct result of fiscal irresponsibility by our lawmakers. I will fight against reckless spending, stop money printing that devalues our currency, and promote policies that ensure long-term economic solvency.^[2]

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Jeff Miller, and I’m a 40-year resident of Bryan/College Station. I grew up here, went to the schools here, played in the parks, got my first job at McDonald’s at age 16, graduated from A&M Consolidated High School, went to Blinn College. Then I raised my own son here, he went to those same schools, even had a couple of the same teachers I had. So, I’ve lived and worked under the laws and policies put in place by the government in this district. I have always been a believer in individual liberty and justice for all. For many years, I foolishly took the word of Democrat and Republican politicians when they claimed to stand for that also. But as time went on I realized the entrenched two parties always chose retaining their own power over the freedom of the people. So, after decades of participating in the process of the Democrat and Republican parties, trying to advocate for change, I finally decided to join the Libertarian Party officially in 2020, and to run for office in 2022.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I want you to have the freedom to live your life how you see fit, as long as you are not harming others.
Elected politicians have used "emergency" powers to take more and more of your freedoms away. I opposed all of the mandates, and I am already against the next mandate!
I want to REDUCE the size and power of government, and restore the freedoms of the citizens of Texas. ALL of the citizens, not just the ones with powerful lobbyist friends. That’s why I’m running for State Representative in District 14.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As Barry Goldwater once said “My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.” There are too many laws, too many regulations, too many taxes!

I want you to have the freedom to live your life without interference from the government. CATO Institute recently ranked Texas 49th out of 50 states in personal freedom. I know we can do better than that!

Texans are proud and independent. I want to get the government off your back!

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

My mother, Lynne Miller. she is the best example of unconditional love I have witnessed.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The platform of the Classical Liberal Caucus here: http://lpclc.org/platform/

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, integrity, following the Constitution.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Represent the people and maximize freedom for all.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Inauguration of Ronald Reagan, 4 years old

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

McDonald’s - two years

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Break It Down Again by Tears For Fears

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The state legislature sends the governor repeals of all the unnecessary laws, and the governor signs them. 😁

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Economic fallout from bad monetary policy at the federal and state level, and maximizing freedom for the people of Texas.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

It can be, but it’s not necessary with a citizen legislature.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Of course. It’s likely the only way to get support for any proposals.

What process do you favor for redistricting?

An independent panel that divides evenly with no discrimination.

Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Barry Goldwater, Ron Paul, Justin Amash

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

Yes, possibly.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Definitely. No one gets 100% of what they want.
