Kenneth A. "Ken" Miller (born October 27, 1966) is an American educator and Republican politician from Oklahoma. Miller is the 18th and current Oklahoma State Treasurer, having won that position in the 2010 state election.
Miller formerly served as a state representative for District 81 in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. House District 81 encompasses Edmond, Oklahoma. Miller serves as the chair of the House's Appropriations and Budget Committee, where he oversees the state's fiscal policy and budget.
Ken Miller earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Lipscomb University in 1989, his Master of Business Administration from Pepperdine University in 1993, and a doctoral degree from the University of Oklahoma. He began his professional career in banking at First American National Bank before joining MediFax-EDS as the financial operations manager. He joined Oklahoma Christian University as a professor of Economics in 1998.
In 1998, Republican incumbent Governor of Oklahoma Frank Keating was elected to his second term as governor. During that term, Governor Keating appointed Miller as the chairman of the Oklahoma Board on Legislative Compensation. The board is responsible for establishing the salary received by each member of the legislature. While chairman, he worked to enforce a freeze on legislative salaries and rejected any increase in compensation during his four years leading the Board.
In 2004, Miller was elected as a Republican to the Oklahoma House of Representatives, representing the 81st House District, during the 2004 elections that resulted in Republican control of the House of Representatives for the first time since 1920. Miller was reelected in 2006 and 2008.
