Miller (born February 9, 1983) is an American politician representing District 26 in the Minnesota Senate, which comprises parts of Fillmore, Houston, and Winona Counties in the southeastern part of the state. He served as the Minnesota Senate Majority Leader from September 2021 to January 2023.

Minnesota Senate
Miller was first elected to the Senate in 2010, defeating incumbent DFL legislator Sharon Erickson Ropes, and has been reelected four times since.[2] In 2019, he was selected by his caucus to serve as president of the Senate, succeeding Michelle Fischbach, who resigned to become lieutenant governor.[4] In January 2021, Miller was reelected to the position.[5] In September 2021, after Paul Gazelka stepped down as majority leader to run for governor, Republicans elected Miller leader of their caucus, making him the majority leader of the Minnesota State Senate.[6]
Miller considered running for Congress in the 2018 election for the Minnesota's 1st district, covering parts of southern Minnesota; the seat was open because Representative Tim Walz sought the governorship instead. Miller ultimately opted not to run.[7]
