United States Representative Jeff Miller was sworn in as the Congressman of the First Congressional District of Florida in October of 2001. In 2006, the people of Northwest Florida sent Congressman Miller back to Washington for a fourth term.
After taking the oath of office, Congressman Miller was appointed to the House Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. He has quickly established himself within Washington as a strong advocate for veterans' concerns including his successful support for changes to concurrent receipt and his initiation of a greater co-sharing policy between the military and veterans' clinics.
Appointed to the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and the Air and Land Forces Subcommittee, Mr. Miller is critically positioned to support U.S. troops as they evolve to meet the continuing threat of the War on Terrorism.
In 2007, Congressman Miller was appointed Ranking Member of the Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Health. The Subcommittee on Health has legislative and oversight jurisdiction for the Department of Veterans Affairs’ health care system, programs and research apparatus. Over the past decade, VA has transformed the health care system to include over 600 health care facilities, including medical centers, nursing homes and hundreds of community-based outpatient clinics organized into service networks throughout the nation, now caring for an estimated 5.2 million veterans. VA’s health care budget currently exceeds $30 billion per year.
Since coming to Congress, Miller has established himself as one of the staunchest conservatives in the House and an emerging leader on the House Armed Services Committee. He has championed numerous tax relief and veterans' measures and fought for less government, less taxes, and more personal freedom.
Miller has appeared on the Fox News Channel, CNN, MSNBC, and ITN Television. He has been a guest on national radio programs such as G. Gordon Liddy Show and the Oliver North Show.
