Miller Announces Reelection Plans
"I definitely do plan to seek re-election." With those words, Rep. Vida Miller, D-Pawleys Island, made official what is likely a surprise to no one
Miller has been in the S.C. House of Representatives since 1997. Prior to that service, she was a member of the School Board of Georgetown County from 1988 to 1994.
"House of Representatives' terms are a lot more frequent than the Senate," she said, since they are elected for two-year terms and senators have four-year terms.
"By the time you've served 10 to 12 years, you do have seniority, you do understand state government, different agencies and the connections between agencies," Miller said. "Hopefully, you're able to maneuver issues through a lot quicker for your constituents than your first term in the General Assembly."
"I really am excited about what's happening in Georgetown County.
"I believe my district (108) is one of the best in the whole state. It's one of the largest, (running) from Murrells Inlet to Awendaw. To me, it is an ideal district."
Miller said that Awendaw and McClellanville have a lot in common with Georgetown County. "They are sort of sister communities."
A lot has been accomplished in the district in the last 12 years, she said. "We're on the cusp or turning point in Georgetown County that is very exciting, one that I never realized happened quite so quickly."
"I would like to continue being part of this," she said. "I certainly appreciate all the support over the last number of years. I would like to continue to serce the people of District #108.
Miller is a native of Greenville County. She attended North Greenville College and Bob Jones University. She married James D. "J.D." Miller in 1978, and the couple has two children.
She owns Gray Man Gallery in Pawleys Island and has been active in a variety of arts groups, the Business and Professional Women, Pawleys Island-Litchfield Merchants Association, League of Women Voters, numerous legislative committees and has been recognized by several legislative groups, the Sierra Club and others.
