NRCC Chairman Greg Walden’s Statement on Rep. Jeff Miller’s Retirement

March 10, 2016

National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden today issued the following statement regarding Rep. Jeff Miller’s retirement announcement:

“Congressman Jeff Miller has been a trusted voice for his North Florida constituents and his leadership will be sorely missed in the House of Representatives. Jeff has been a fierce protector of our nation’s veterans as the Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, and his successor will have very large shoes to fill.

“While I will miss seeing Jeff in Congress, I am happy he will have more time to spend with his wife, Vicki, and his children, grandchildren and great grandchild. I am fully confident that Florida’s First Congressional District will remain in Republican control in November as House Republicans continue Jeff’s fight to protect our veterans and holding the VA accountable.”
