Legislative Background
Brett Miller is running for re-election as State Representative.  He has established himself as an active and committed representative of the people of the 41st district.  While in Harrisburg, he works to bring the issues of the constituents to the debates on the issues that are on the minds of the voters. In the district, he remains active and very involved with the community seeking input from the citizens, attending events, and helping the residents cut through bureaucratic red tape to receive the assistance that they need.

Brett has served on multiple committees during his tenure in Harrisburg. Currently, he serves on State Government (Chairman of the Operations Subcommittee on Public Pensions, Benefits and Risk Management), Local Government, Aging & Older Adult Services, and Consumer Affairs.  Brett is actively engaged in the discussions of the issues and works across the aisle to try to find common ground on the issues facing Pennsylvanians. His record shows him to be an independent voice on the issues and one who seeks the best possible policy while always keeping people and principle above politics.  

You can see all of the legislation that Brett is working on this session here. Thus far this session, he has had 12 of the 16 bills he sponsored pass out of committee, and eight of which passed the House and four of which have been signed into law.. The work to achieve passage of bills is enormous, but Brett maintains his focus, his determination, and his commitment to see – as much as their success depends on him – these bills become law.

This work ethic and passion for public service have been the pattern for Brett's entire life and did not just start during his time in the General Assembly.  Brett's resume and example show these traits in all he has done, and it is with this background that he remains committed to continuing the 41st District's proud tradition of straight-talking, reform-minded leadership in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
 
Background
Born in the Poconos region, Brett moved to Lancaster County over 30 years ago, right after completing his graduate degree.  Career-wise, Brett has helped thousands of students walk the path to maturity as a school guidance counselor, first at Garden Spot School District for four years, and then for the next 22 years at Warwick School District.  Always one to care for and challenge the students to grow in knowledge, strength and character, Brett has consistently been drawn to roles where he can be of service to others.

Brett is married to his wife, Jennifer, a public school reading specialist.  The Millers have put down deep roots in their East Hempfield neighborhood, attend church in Manor Township, and believe that the beauty, the vitality, and the community-mindedness of the 41st district make it an excellent place to live.
 
In his community work, Brett has always sought to bring a respectful, fair, and common-sense approach to local government.
 
In his previous service as an East Hempfield township supervisor, Brett has earned a reputation as a true friend to the taxpayer.  Recognized for his leadership skills, he was elected by his peers to serve as board chairman for four years.  In this role, he was responsible for leading the board in setting policies and direction for the management of a $14 million budget, 66 full time employees, public safety services, public infrastructure needs, traffic management and public recreation.  Beyond his work as a supervisor on the local level, Brett was also appointed and elected to leadership positions in county and statewide governmental organizations, which only deepened his understanding of how to make government work.   
 
While serving as township supervisor, through tough choices, wise management, and a considerable dose of courage, Brett led Lancaster County’s second-largest township from facing a dismal fiscal outlook to a sizable surplus – all without raising taxes or cutting services.  
 
On the personal side, Brett is a long distance runner who has competed in and finished eight marathons. He’s a Penn State football fan, and a pretty decent guitar player.
 
Brett holds principal and counselor certifications from Penn State University and Millersville University respectively, and has earned a Master’s degree and a Bachelor’s degree from Liberty University.
