SID MILLER STATEMENT ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ESTABLISHING NATIONAL DEFENSE AREAS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER
I fully support President Trump and the U.S. Department of Defense’s move to create National Defense Areas along the southern border. Farmers and ranchers, especially in border regions, face daily threats from illegal crossings, drug cartels, and human traffickers who damage property, steal resources, and endanger lives. This issue isn't limited to Texas; it poses a national security threat affecting our food supply and rural economies.  [More]

The men and women of the United States Border Patrol are heroes, risking their lives every day to protect this nation and uphold the rule of law.

Texans will not tolerate violence against law enforcement, and I am glad this threat was neutralized quickly without further loss of life. Our prayers are with the agents who were injured and their families.  [More]

As an eighth-generation farmer and rancher, I know what it’s like to watch the sky during a drought, hoping for rain.

Let’s put an end to the conspiracy theories and stop blaming others. Our priority should be the recovery efforts in the Texas Hill Country, as we stand in solidarity with our fellow Texans.  [More]

SID MILLER ADDRESSES PRESIDENT TRUMP’S VISIT TO KERRVILLE, TEXAS
“President Trump’s visit to Kerrville comes at a crucial time as Texans are suffering from historic and devastating flooding. This is the leadership Texans know to expect from President Trump: present, proactive, and ready to act when disaster occurs. President Trump is committed to strengthening emergency response efforts so that what happened in the Hill Country never happens again, and I will fight with him every step of the way. We’re not just going to rebuild, we’re going to rebuild stronger, smarter, and faster. Hundreds of Texans remain unaccounted for. As searches continue, I hope Texans will continue to join me in keeping those affected in their prayers. In times of disaster, we must unite in solidarity and support our neighbors.”  [More]
