“As a conservative caucus, we’re finally making headway,” Miller
told The Center Square. “There’s still a lot of work to do as we
fight to take back our state, but we’re making progress. Up
until recently, what we’ve been watching is the destruction of
our state. The problem’s been you can find lots of politicians
to run for office but it’s hard to find statesman with the
courage and conviction to put the well-being of the state first.
My motto has always been Illinois first.”
With that in mind, the Journal Gazette& Times Courier reports
The 69-year-old Miller plans to run for reelection in 2024, and
he says he is doing everything that’s required to make that
happen after Democrats controlling the legislature and
congressional redistricting process drew maps to box Miller out
of his 110th District.
Miller told reporters he has been renting a home in Hindsboro
not far from his Oakland farm to make sure his residency falls
within the newly drawn 101st House District.
“With all the gerrymandered districts, I rented a place there in
April,” the husband of U.S. Rep. Mary Miller said. “I refuse to
give in to the destructive policies coming from the Democrats in
Illinois. It is my honor to represent the commonsense people of
Central Illinois and be their voice in Springfield.”
If he wins another term, Miller said he already has a lengthy
to-do list in place.
“We’re going to promote a return to the constitution and the
Republican Party platform of limited government, rule of law,
sanctity of life, individual liberty, bare markets, economic
prosperity and peace through strength,” he said. “There’s a
serious need for structural reform across the state. Right now,
what you’re seeing is a complete woke Dumpster fire.”
As chairman of the Illinois Freedom Caucus, Miller adds he’s not
about to take no for an answer when it comes to bringing about
the level of change in Springfield he’s convinced is needed.
“I am a third-generation farmer and Illinois is now a moral and
fiscal train wreck,” he said. “I’m not leaving Illinois, neither
is my family. We can do better and I am going to do my best to
see that we do.”
