I urge your readers in Legislative District 26 to support their windfall state legislator and vote for Steve Miller for re-election to House of Representatives.
Steve is a windfall for the voters in District 26 because for the first time in many election cycles the people elected someone who is a true son of the district.
Steve has always lived in the district, was born here, he grew up here, made his home in the district, earned his living in the district doing things that the ordinary voter does. His primary business is farming and ranching. His sweat has salted his fields.
Miller graduated from the University of Idaho with a degree in agricultural engineering. As a rancher, he understands the cattle business; as a farmer, he husbands the soil. He is a friend of the environment that he uses for his living. He has been a decades-long member of the local Soil Conservation District and has held many state and national offices in the soil conservation world.
Steve Miller has traded for a lifetime with the merchants of the Wood River Valley and the people of Shoshone, Gooding, Fairfield, Hagerman and Wendell. In his younger days, he and his children have associated with people from Dietrich, Richfield, Carey, Bliss and all the other schools, both scholastically and athletically.
But that is just the half of it. Steve is a dedicated legislator who serves on the most important committee in the legislature, the Appropriations Committee, and represents the interests of the district by serving on both the Agricultural Affairs and Resources and Conservation committees. He has become a respected member of the majority party where your representative for the first time in many years can have clout in state affairs.
Steve is one of us and deserves our support. Let’s not lose our windfall.
