The Oakland farmer said with her background, she can bring a new level of expertise and understanding to the Ag Committee. Miller said, "It's not just about farming. Our district is 52% rural and is in critical need of more broadband investment by the USDA, especially with people working and learning from home during the pandemic."

Miller and her husband have spent the last 40 years running their family farm.

As to the Education and Labor Committee, Miller said, "I'm honored to have been selected to serve on a committee that has such a big impact on all Americans. Every child deserves a quality education and every parent should be empowered to make decisions that are best for their child."

As for the Labor side of the committee, Miller said, "The Trump Administration took America's workforce to new heights. Families were bringing home more of their hard-earned money and, before the pandemic, the unemployment rate was the lowest it had been in half a century. I am prepared to continue this good work in the committee and grateful for the opportunity to do so."
