STRATFORD – Tim Miller, of Stratford, has announced his candidacy for the Wisconsin 69th Assembly District.

Miller

Miller is a 27-year law enforcement veteran. He began his law enforcement career as an undercover narcotics investigator.  He has also worked as a field training officer, school resource officer, and a detective.  Miller is currently serving as Stratford’s chief of police.

As a patrol officer, Miller said he prided himself in being community orientated.

“I found the best way to serve my community was to listen to the people that I serve,” he said. “I listened to their hopes and concerns and tried to be a problem solver for them.  I emphasized this same philosophy to all of the officers I have trained over the years.  My strength as a good listener and problem solver will be a valuable asset to serve the people of the 69th Assembly District.

“When I first heard that Bob Kulp was not going to run for re-election, I thought about the loss of his representation to the 69th District.  I knew many people looked up to him and valued his community service. “

Miller has been married to his wife, Tirzah, for 20 years.  They are raising their three teenage children in the Stratford area.

“We moved to the Stratford area for the excellent schools and the tremendous feeling of community pride shared here,” he added. “The 69th District as a whole is very community orientated.  It’s a great place to live, work and raise a family.  I have also seen the challenges that face our communities.  My next phase of community service will be to look for solutions at the state level.  I look forward to meeting as many people as possible in the 69th District and I would be honored to represent all of them in Madison.”
