[edit] Education

Miller graduated from Foothill High School. He received his bachelors degree from Cal State Fullerton in 1985.[4]

[edit] Political Career

In 2000, he was elected to the Corona City Council, where his legislative priorities were to keep the economy growing, the budget balanced, the community safe, and reduce regional traffic.[5]

As a member of the Riverside County Transportation Commission, he worked on the Riverside/Orange Corridor Authority.[6]

Miller served as chairman of the Riverside County Republican Party from 2006 to 2008.

[edit] Assembly career

Miller serves on the Assembly Higher Education Committee as well as the Insurance, Housing and Community Development, and Transportation Committees. In addition, he serves as vice-chair of the Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee. In his previous term, Miller sat on the Appropriations, Transportation, Education, and Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committees while also serving as the caucus' Elections Chair.[7]

[edit] AB 2098

AB 2098 and its "design build" method could serve as the model for all future road construction projects in California. The California Transportation Commission saw the benefits of the innovative design build method, and decided to unanimously endorse AB 2098. In addition to the California Transportation Commission, AB 2098 garnered 54 bipartisan co-authors in both the State Assembly and the State Senate. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed AB 2098 into law in September 2010.[8]

Miller's work on AB 2098 earned him the award of Legislator of the Year from the Southern California Contractor's Association, as well as recognition from the Orange County Business Council.[9]
