Congressman
Gary G. Miller was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives
in 1998 to represent California's
42nd Congressional District. Mr. Miller serves on the
House Financial Services Committee, which oversees the United
States' banks, stock exchanges, real estate market and insurance
industry, and the House Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee, which oversees the nation's highways, railroads,
airports and water infrastructure. As a member of these committees
and a former business owner, Mr. Miller brings real-world
experience to address the transportation, water and housing
needs of the 42nd district.
In
addition, he is working to reduce the United States' debt,
create a fairer tax system, improve access to healthcare,
ensure students receive a quality education, and stop the
flow of illegal immigrants into our country.
Mr.
Miller is chairman of the Building a Better America Caucus,
a congressional organization promoting quality growth. He
is also a member of the Republican leadership team as assistant
whip.
Mr.
Miller was born in Arkansas, but grew up in Whittier, California.
In his early twenties, he founded the G. Miller Development
Company and met his wife, Cathy. They married in 1972 and
raised three sons and one daughter. As his family grew,
so did his business. G. Miller Development expanded from building
single family and custom homes to eventually developing planned
communities.
In 1982, Mr. Miller was asked to serve on the board of directors
of Sonrise Christian School. His service to the community
was expanded in 1988 when he was appointed to the Diamond
Bar Municipal Advisory Council. Upon the incorporation
of the City of Diamond Bar in 1989, Gary Miller was elected
to its first city council and served as Mayor in 1992.
On May 16, 1995, Mr. Miller was elected to the California
State Assembly. There he served as chairman of the Budget
Committee and the Banking and Finance Committee, as well as
vice chairman of the Transportation Committee. His distinguished
California State Assembly career is highlighted by 24 bills
signed into law, successfully negotiating funding of the first
class size reduction program, and a balanced budget that reduced
the business tax rate to 1973 levels while maintaining a $310
million reserve.
Mr.
Miller currently resides in the city of Diamond Bar.
