 IN RECOGNITION OF STEVE MILLER'S SERVICE TO KENTUCKY'S SECOND DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 25, 2018

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give my sincere thanks to 
Steve Miller of Shelby County, Kentucky, who is retiring after nine 
years of service as a field representative with my office.
  My friendship with Steve began when I was first elected to the 
Kentucky State Senate. Steve worked for the Senate leadership office, 
and I quickly learned how much everyone loved Steve. He built 
friendships quickly and had a deep knowledge of legislation and policy, 
so when I was elected to serve the Second District in the U.S. House of 
Representatives, I knew I wanted Steve on my team.
  Steve rose up to the challenge and immediately developed a reputation 
for serving constituents effectively. He understood early on that 
service transcends ideological differences. Once, when Steve had an 
introductory meeting with a local official, he was rebuffed because the 
official was of a different party. Steve chuckled and explained that he 
wasn't there to be political--he was there to serve that community and 
be a resource to that official. A great relationship began in fifteen 
minutes and endures still.
  For the past nine years, I've heard my constituents tell similar 
stories of appreciation for Steve. He wakes up each day thinking about 
who he can introduce me to as he hits the road to visit the 
constituents of Kentucky's Second District. I will miss Steve, but I 
wish him and his wife Donna good health and good times with their 
family during retirement.
