U.S. House of Representatives
United States Representative Jeff Miller was sworn in as the Congressman of the First Congressional District of Florida in October of 2001. In 2008, the people of Northwest Florida sent Congressman Miller back to Washington for a fifth term.
After taking the oath of office in 2001, Congressman Miller was appointed to the House Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. He quickly established himself within Washington as a strong advocate for veterans' concerns and immediately supported changes to concurrent receipt and policy changes such as a greater co-sharing between the military and veterans' clinics.
The Top Republican on the Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities (TUTC) Subcommittee, a senior member of the the Air and Land Forces Subcommittee and the Co-Chairman of the Bipartisan Special Operations Forces Caucus, Mr. Miller is critically positioned to support U.S. troops in the Global War on Terrorism.
In 2009, Congressman Miller was appointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). The HPSCI provides policy guidance and sets classified funding levels for the sixteen agencies of the Intelligence Community funded by the National Intelligence Program and the Military Intelligence Program. Recently, the Intelligence Committee has held important hearings on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, U.S. Intelligence Operations against Al Qaeda, and Security Clearance Reform.
Congressman Miller also serves on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Parliamentary Assembly (NATO PA), where he serves as Vice Chairman of the subcommittee on Transatlantic Defense and Security Cooperation.
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.
