Adam Clay Miller (born January 27, 1965) is an American attorney and politician serving as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from the 6th district. He is a Democrat. The district consists of portions of Columbus including Hilltop, and the Southside as well as Valleyview in Franklin County.
Miller was born in Columbus, Ohio and is the fourth-generation resident of the Hilltop neighborhood.[1] He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from Ohio State University, a Juris Doctor from the Capital University Law School, and a Master of Science in strategic studies from the United States Army War College.[2]
Outside of politics, Miller works as a director with Kegler, Brown, Hill + Ritter.[3] In 1998, Miller ran unsuccessfully for the United States House of Representatives against Deborah Pryce.[4] He lost again in 2004, this time for a seat on the Ohio State Board of Education.[5]
A colonel in the United States Army Reserve, Miller is a Judge Advocate General's Corps officer. He did a tour of Afghanistan in 2004 and another in 2020. Formerly, Miller served on the Grandview Heights City School Board.
In 2016, Representative Michael Curtin decided not to seek a third term.[6] Opting to seek the Democratic nomination, Miller defeated Matt Jolson 58% to 42%.[7] This was despite Miller not being endorsed by the Franklin County Democratic Party.
In a safely Democratic seat, Miller won the general election against Republican John Rush by only a 54% to 46% margin, much closer than anticipated.[8] Miller is only the second person to hold this seat, after Curtin, since it was established in 2013.
He is married with two children and resides in Marble Cliff.[9]
