For Immediate Release: Wednesday, December 23, 2020
Rockville, Md.—Council President Tom Hucker issued the following statement on behalf of the Montgomery County Council on the retirement of Senate President Emeritus Thomas V. “Mike” Miller:
“The Montgomery County Council thanks Senate President Emeritus Mike Miller for his 50 years of public service and for his unyielding commitment to improving the lives of Marylanders. His leadership transcends partisan politics and throughout his time in the Maryland General Assembly he was able to bring all sides together behind a unified vision for our state.
“President Miller also took the time to mentor generations of elected leaders including at least two current members of the Council. His belief in the power of public education, his work to improve the environment and his commitment to affordable healthcare are all key issues that county leaders worked closely with him on throughout his tenure. While we know that his renowned historical knowledge, strategic planning, and sense of humor will only be a phone call away, we will miss his unflappable guidance in the Maryland State House.
“President Miller is truly a living legend who is devoted to bringing people together in the 'spirit of public service and unity,' and we will strive to continue to follow those guiding principles in our county.”
