Republican Congressman Jeff Miller was sworn in to his fourth full term as a member of the United States Congress at a ceremony Tuesday afternoon opening the 111th Congress at the U.S. Capitol.

“I am honored the people of the 1st District have chosen me to represent them,” said Miller, who is often viewed as one of the staunchest conservaties in the House. “I’m also grateful that my wife Vicki was able to be at my side at the swearing in ceremony.”

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 smaller government, lower taxes, and the principles of the Founding Fathers.

As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, Miller has worked to strengthen our national defense and keep the promises made to America’s Veterans. Over the past two years, Miller was at the forefront of the struggle to lower energy costs and worked hard for a more sensible solution to the financial crisis affecting the economy. Miller also secured funding for two new veterans clinics in Northwest Florida that opened this year, including a “Superclinic” adjacent to Pensacola Naval Air Station. Congressman Miller was also credited with establishing Emerald Coast Honor Flight, which brings World War II Veterans to Washington, D.C. to tour their memorial.

“The next two years will be a challenge,” stated Miller. “I believe that Americans are growing tired of the dirty politics and the partisanship that is dividing this country. As Members of Congress, we need to learn to work across party lines so that we can govern efficiently, effectively, and in the best interest of the taxpayers and the nation. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure that we pass legislation that benefits all Americans.”
