House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller Endorses Marco Rubio For President

Today, House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller (FL-01) endorsed Marco Rubio for President. With the support of Congressman Miller in Florida’s strongest Republican congressional district, Marco’s campaign continues building conservative support ahead of Florida's March 15 primary.
 
Miller has represented Florida’s 1st Congressional District since 2001. Prior to that, he served in the Florida House of Representatives, including two years with Marco. Since 2011, Miller has served as chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. In 2014, he and Marco played a leading role in negotiating a sweeping VA reform law that included their proposal to empower the VA secretary to fire bad managers.
 
In endorsing Marco, Congressman Miller issued the following statement:
 
“America needs a president who will take on the status quo, establishment and entrenched interests that are standing in the way of a better future for our people, and Marco will be that kind of president. I know it because I’ve seen him do it as a state legislator, in taking on and beating the Republican establishment during his Senate run, and then delivering results as Florida’s senator. In particular, Marco has stood with me in fighting for our veterans and holding the VA accountable for the unforgivable scandals and abuses we’ve seen in recent years.
 
“America needs Marco and his conservative agenda of expanding the American Dream to more people than ever before, rebuilding our military and taking care of our veterans. With voting already underway in Florida, I encourage Florida Republicans across the Panhandle and our entire state to join me in supporting Marco for President.”
