===Miller joins Democrats in choosing House Speaker===
Miller ran unopposed for his third House term in the primary election held on October 12, 2019.
On January 13, 2020, his first day as a state representative in his third term, Miller was among twenty-three Moderate Republican lawmakers, known as the [[Louisiana Republican Fraud Squad|Fraud Squad]], who voted for Clay Schexnayder, whose election as House [[Speaker]] depended heavily on the votes of thirty-five Democratic lawmakers along with two [[Independent]] legislators, and the Republican dissenters. Democratic Governor [[John Bel Edwards]] made contacts on Schexnayder's behalf. The forty-five conservative Republicans in the House were outfoxed by the twenty-three Moderates.<ref>''[[Moon Griffon|The Moon Griffon Show]],'' January 23, 2020.</ref>
