Campaign themes

2016

Miller's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Education

  • Excerpt: "Quality education is, to me, the most important investment that we can make in our future. We should work hard to provide a quality education and put decisions regarding curriculum in the hands of the educators.

Marriage equality

  • Excerpt: "I fully support and applaud the Supreme Court’s decision in the Obergefell v. Hodges case and will work to make sure that this law is upheld and the rights of our brothers and sisters in the LGBTQ community are protected."

Health care

  • Excerpt: "If elected, I will support laws which will provide access to healthcare to those who currently do not have it. I fully support 'Insure Tennessee.'"

Gun control

  • Excerpt: "While I am not naïve enough to think that criminals will not find access to weapons regardless of the law, I do believe that increased background checks and increased penalties for those who gain access to weapons illegally, as well as those who supply firearms illegally, can and will deter crime as well as protect responsible gun ownership."

Minimum wage

  • Excerpt: "It is my firm belief that if you work a full-time, 40 hour a week job, you should make a decent, living wage. By raising the minimum wage to $10-$12 per hour, we could potentially produce an income slightly above the poverty line for a household of 4 if only one parent is employed."
