Hello, my name is Tracey Miller. I have served as an Honorary Commander at the Dover Air Force Base, a Committee Member for the PAC (Metropolitan Planning Organizations Public Action Committee), a City Counselor Chair of the Ways and Means Committee, Chair of the Capital Finance Committee, as well as a board member on the Kent County Board of Assessment Review. My career speaks volumes about my dedication to serving all community members. I work full-time for Forward Journey Adult Day Services as the Director of Development. I live in Wyoming with my wife, Dr. Christie Miller, and our two daughters, McKelden, who just graduated from CR and is heading to The University of Delaware Honors program in the fall. Zella is currently attending CR as an incoming senior. Additionally, we share our home with our three fur babies.
  • EQUITY in EDUCATION Every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential. One of my top priorities is to work with the Secretary of Education to revamp an antiquated unit-based system. Education is the cornerstone of a thriving and informed society, and I am committed to improving school systems, supporting educators, and advocating for equitable access to quality education. Teacher retention and recruitment are crucial tasks that I will address by collaborating with school districts and parent groups. Our children need to have dedicated educators who are committed to our schools and kids.
  • HEALTHCARE Equally important to me is the promotion of accessible healthcare for all. No one should have to choose between their health and their financial stability. I will advocate for affordable and comprehensive healthcare options, ensuring everyone receives the care they need without facing exorbitant costs. This could take the form of Public/Private Partnerships or efforts at multi-agency bargaining for prescriptions. I am open to working with all parties to stabilize or reduce costs that eat so much of our monthly budgets.
  • AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING I will prioritize building affordable workforce housing to support the local workers. We have a severe housing shortage for folks who are the backbone of our community. That includes teachers, police officers, firefighters, those who check you out at the local Redners, etc. We must support the taxpayers who support us. Programs are being utilized in New Castle and Sussex. It is time that Kent joined the effort.
Our current representation woefully neglects the urgent concerns of equitable access to quality education in the state, the lack of available healthcare options for women and children, and the county's severe shortage of affordable workforce housing. These vital sectors of our society are neglected and underserved.
I have lots of mentors, thankfully. My mother, is probably the strongest one of my mentors. She was a country girl who lacked education but had amazing street smarts and people skills. What she lacked in formal education she made up for with her ability to talk to people. She never feared speaking in public or taking the lead in any effort she felt strongly about. She married at 17, survived an abusive marriage, went on to get her GED and had two successful children,. She never complained that her life was hard, she just put her head down and continued to push forward. Her life was cut short by smoking but she is always with me.
I firmly believe that effective leadership demands integrity, empathy, and a steadfast commitment to the well-being of our community.
I listen! I try and do less talking and more listening. Mind you, I talk a lot. Hahaha. I believe we must listen to our community to be able to represent them. I am also empathetic to my fellow man. I haven't had an easy life and I try and remember those times so I be more empathetic in the here and now when I am blessed beyond compare with an amazingly supportive family, a place to lay my head at night, and a career that I love.
If elected, I promise to listen to your concerns, engage in meaningful dialogue, and take action on the issues that matter most to you.
I want people to remember I cared about them and was willing to take a stand when it was needed.
Watergate. I believe I was 3 years old. I was watching the news with my grandmother.
To Kill a Mocking Bird. It was the first time I really understood racism in it's basic form.
Being away from my family and home in Virginia.
I believe that the Governor's Office and the Legislature should work very closely to bring the ultimate good to the people. I also believe in the separation of powers. The ultimate responsibility of the branches are to serve as checks and balances to one another.
Yes, but it also must include "real world" experience. A good legislator brings experience and understanding of taxation, the importance of having a good education system, knowing that if your constituents can't relate to you then they won't trust and believe in you.
Absolutely. Good government is driven by bi-partisan understanding of the issues.
I had a 93 year old lady who asked me to introduce a "right to dry" bill as my first bill I sponsored. She would like to save energy and have a clothes line in her back yard which against her HOA policy. Just that simple. People just want to get back to the basics of life.
That is the power of the Executive Branch, so no.
I promised to introduce the "Right to Dry" bill so folks in subdivisions could have a clothes line in their back yards.

Finance
I believe good leaders and responsible government has an open and transparent checkbook. I believe we need to address "pass through" entities that receive monies from Grant and Aid each year.
I am not in favor of the state ballot initiatives. That is the reason we have legislators.
