Candice Sue Miller (née McDonald; born May 7, 1954) is an American politician who was the U.S. Representative for Michigan's 10th congressional district from 2003 to 2017. She is former Michigan Secretary of State, Macomb County Treasurer, and Harrison Township Supervisor. She is a member of the Republican Party. In November 2016, she was elected Macomb County Public Works commissioner, defeating 6-term incumbent Anthony Marrocco.
The district includes all of Michigan's Huron, Lapeer, Sanilac, and St. Clair counties, plus northern Macomb and eastern Tuscola counties. She is a graduate of Lake Shore High School of St. Clair Shores, Michigan.
Miller did not seek re-election in 2016 and resigned her seat in the House on December 31, 2016, in order to take office as Public Works Commissioner the next day.
In the 113th Congress, Representative Miller was appointed to serve as Chairman of the Committee on House Administration (CHA), and in the 114th Congress she continues to serve as the Committee’s Chair. CHA was established in 1947 and is charged with the oversight of federal elections and the day-to-day operations of the House of Representatives.
The Committee has the responsibility to ensure that the House of Representatives runs in an effective and efficient manner, which is vital as we work to meet the many challenges facing this great nation. Most importantly, this committee has jurisdiction over the federal election process, and, as Chairman, Representative Miller has been committed to making certain the Committee enacts rules to ensure our nation continues to have open, free, and fair elections.
