| Collapse all
Michael Miller has lived in Fort Bend County since 2012 since moving from Galveston County, TX. Miller spent 12 years in Oil and Gas in the Houston area and most recently works for Tech. Miller's four children all attended Lamar ISD schools + The University of Texas - Austin.
Brought up in a household with 3 siblings and maternal grandparents who immigrated from Mexico, the ideas of personal freedoms, faith, entrepreneurship, and non-government mandated charity were strong themes that carry through to today.
Youth Sports, Athletics, and Community Service play a large part in the Miller household. Local involvement includes 15+ year as a head YMCA basketball coach, something he has done for each of his kids - and still going. Miller is the youth football coordinator for the GRHS zone of Gridiron football. A coach and player for NFL Flag. Former coach with Little League baseball. And each of his kids are active athletes and community servants at their respective school.
The Miller family owns a house in Richmond, TX as well as 10 acres of agricultural land in the Richmond/Booth area - currently tending to goats, horses, and chickens.
- Eliminate Property Tax
- Less Government
- Personal Freedoms
Miller is not a career politician, nor should there be career politicians. As someone raising a family in our District, working agricultural land, contributing to the community, paying taxes, buying property, sending kids to schools, leveraging infrastructure and resources, worshiping, shopping in our stores, and coaching and mentoring our youth, it's clear less government regulation and taxation fosters all good things.
Throughout our district we hear time and time again in every issue the same themes: self responsibility, personal freedom, and minimum government. This resonates! This is what Miller will bring to the District, not only on specific issues, however also as a fundamental message.
