==Early life, education==
Miller is a native Virginian. He attended [W.T. Woodson High School](/source/W.T._Woodson_High_School) in [Fairfax County, Virginia](/source/Fairfax_County%2C_Virginia), graduating in 1985. He received a B.S. degree in urban planning from [Virginia Commonwealth University](/source/Virginia_Commonwealth_University) in 1990.<ref name="hod"/>

He served in the [United States Army Reserve](/source/United_States_Army_Reserve) 1989&ndash;1999, attaining the rank of [captain](/source/captain_(United_States)).<ref name="hod"/>

==Electoral history==
In May 2004 Miller ran for a four-year term on the nonpartisan [Manassas](/source/Manassas%2C_Virginia) city council. In a race for three available seats, he finished third among four candidates.<ref name="sbe2004m"/>

On March 28, 2006, 84-year-old [Republican](/source/Republican_Party_(United_States)) Delegate [Harry J. Parrish](/source/Harry_J._Parrish) died, leaving the 50th House district seat vacant. Miller ran as the Republican nominee, replacing Parrish in a [special election](/source/special_election) held together with the November congressional election.<ref name="sbe2006"/> He lost his seat in 2017 to [Lee J. Carter](/source/Lee_J._Carter), a member of the [Democratic Socialists of America](/source/Democratic_Socialists_of_America). Many regard his loss as the biggest surprise of Virginia's 2017 election cycle due to his opponent's lack of party support.<ref>Graham Vyce, [https://newrepublic.com/article/145727/socialist-beat-one-virginias-powerful-republicans "How a Socialist Beat One of Virginia's Most Powerful Republicans"], "The New Republic"</ref>
