Please list highlights of your civic involvement:
Worked for various election campaigns starting with my Father Ralph Miller in 1991. Also volunteered to help seniors in the community.
Why are you running?
To be the missing voice of the Ward 3 residents. I feel like a lot of the residents have been under represented over the years. I want to work for the residents NOT the Mayor.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it?
Community growth. In Madison we have 2 dollar stores but no grocery store or drug store. We have a unused community rec center. We need a place for our young people, the park behind it is nice but the building can be put to good use. We need the mayor and city council to work for the Residents not just tear down homes and not replace them with anything. We need more affordable housing to help community growth as well.
Why should people vote for you?
I’d like people to vote for me so that I can work for them, to be their voice and be there when they have questions and objections to votes on the council. To vote how the residents feel I should vote not how the mayor thinks I should vote. I will be available at all times for residents of the 3rd Ward. Not just at election time.
