Issues
Stalking legislation
In March 2014, Miller sponsored legislation to eliminate a loophole in Pennsylvania law defining the crime of stalking. The bill would have removed an exemption for union members engaging in labor disputes and would apply anti-stalking law, which includes "repeated activity which causes fear of bodily injury or emotional distress in another," to union members. Miller said that allowing anyone to get away with a crime like stalking could serve as a gateway to more serious offenses. The Pennsylvania House passed the bill in March 2014, and the Pennsylvania State Senate [2]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
