Sides
Sid Miller
Our proven conservative leader in the
Texas House of Representatives.
State Representative Sid Miller has helped lead the fight
to protect our conservative values in Austin.
As Chairman of the Agriculture and Livestock Committee, Sid Miller has helped protect our
personal freedoms, our rural lifestyle, and our Texas Heritage. His steadfast defense of the
second amendment and our right to keep and bear arms has earned him the endorsement of
the Texas and National Rifle Associations.
Sid has worked tirelessly to hold the line on runaway spending by balancing our budget and
making sure that state government lives within its means, just like you and your family are
forced to do. He has helped lead the fight to lower property taxes and he has been one of the
legislature’s strongest and most consistent voices in protecting the traditional values of faith,
family, and freedom that have made our state and nation strong.
Sid Miller has been a friend and advocate for our veterans and has honored their service
by passing legislation that established the state veteran’s cemetery system— the first one
being built right here in Central Texas. He has authored over twenty bills
that have a positive impact for our veterans and those
who proudly defend our freedoms in uniform today.
But there Is still much more to do.
Let’s keep Sid fighting for us!
Amthn.
