Jackson Hunter Miller (born April 30, 1967) is an
Democratic socialist challenger Lee J. Carter in what was considered an upset.[2]
Miller has served on the House committees on Commerce and Labor (2010–2018), Courts of Justice (2008–2018), General Laws (2008–2009), Privileges and Elections (2007–2018), and Science and Technology (2007–2009).[3]
Early life, education
Miller is a native Virginian. He attended
W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax County, Virginia, graduating in 1985. He received a B.S. degree in urban planning from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1990.[1]
He served in the United States Army Reserve 1989–1999, attaining the rank of captain.[1]
Electoral history
In May 2004 Miller ran for a four-year term on the nonpartisan Manassas city council. In a race for three available seats, he finished third among four candidates.[4]
On March 28, 2006, 84-year-old
special election held together with the November congressional election.[5] He lost his seat in 2017 to Lee J. Carter, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Many regard his loss as the biggest surprise of Virginia's 2017 election cycle due to his opponent's lack of party support.[6]
