Friday morning marked the first swearing in ceremony of the upcoming 2017 regular Legislative session. Delegate Rodney Miller, D-Boone, was sworn in by West Virginia Supreme Court Justice Robin Davis. Miller was elected to represent the 23rd District.
A two-term sheriff in Boone County, Miller said he has some experience working with members of the Legislature on behalf of numerous sheriff organizations. Now on the other side of things, Miller said his one motivation for running was his children.
“My most motivating factor for me to run is my children,” he said. “I thought I could contribute.” Miller’s son and daughter are attending West Virginia University and Marshall University, respectfully. Having retired as the sheriff, Miller said he just wants to be able to make West Virginia a better place in a new capacity. “I think we could get a lot of work done, if we could just get everybody to work,” he added.
