Congressman Jeff Miller has announced that he will appoint James E. Zumwalt to serve as his Military Legislative Assistant (MLA) in his Congressional office. As MLA, Zumwalt will oversee National Security and Military policy in Miller’s Washington office.

Not surprising that James Zumwalt is a perfectly knowledgeable gentleman. My conversation with him was an honor and a privilege–he is qualified in his own right for high public office.
Mr. Miller is a smart man.
I spoke to him a few weeks ago about a Bill in congress. He was well informed and answered all my questions. Mr. Miller has done an excellent job in hiring this gentleman.
Good for Mr. Miller! He picks good people who help him gather good information so he can serve his constituents better! Welcome aboard, sir!
Jeff Miller always surrounds himself with the best folks possible in order to serve his district well.
