Dear Friends:

Working as your State Senator has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I'd like to express my sincere thanks to the thousands of supporters, volunteers and those who invested in my campaign for giving me the incredible opportunity to represent the people of the 1st District. I greatly appreciate the confidence and trust you have shown in me and I promise to do my very best in representing you in Richmond.

I serve on four very important committees -- Education and Health, Transportation, General Laws and Technology and Rehabilitation and Social Services. These committees allow me to have a significant voice in many of the major issues facing the Commonwealth.

We faced many challenges during this session of the General Assembly. We were forced to close a significant budget shortfall, but still were able to find funding to modestly increase pre-k programs and increase funding for mental health. The Senate passed bills dealing with banning smoking in restaurants and bi-partisan redistricting but both of those bills were killed in the House of Delegates. We still need to find a way to improve transportation and I am working across party lines to find common sense solutions to that and the other problems we face.

In order to better represent you, I need to hear from you. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the issues facing the General Assembly. Take a moment to fill out my transportation survey. Knowing how you feel about the issues will help me to better represent you.

To contact me you can send an e-mail to john@senatorjohnmiller.com or call my District Office at 595-1100. Please feel free to visit my District Office located in the Teagle Building across from CNU.

I'm humbled by the honor you have given me and I am working hard to move Virginia forward.

Sincerely,

Senator John Miller
