Joseph "Joe" Miller (born May 10, 1967 in Osborne, Kansas) is an attorney and Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Alaska for the 2010 General Election after defeating Lisa Murkowski. Joe Miller's campaign focus is on beating the Democrats with a message of limited federal government and states' rights in November. Miller is a graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point, earned a Juris Doctor at Yale Law School, and a Masters degree in economics from the University of Alaska. Miller received a bronze star for his service as a M1A1 tank platoon leader in the first Gulf War. The young first lieutenant was entrusted with leading the 1st Combat Brigade's 93-mile road march that preceded the sweep into Iraq and Kuwait. [1] In 2002, he was appointed a United States Magistrate Judge.

2010 Election

Joe Miller defeated incumbent RINO Lisa Murkowski for the Republican nomination. In a selfish move detrimental to her own party, Murkowski decided to run as a write-in candidate. In the closely contested race, Miller and Murkowski handily defeated the Democrat candidate, but the race is still undecided. Contrary to Alaska state law, the board of elections is counting many misspelled write-in ballots in Murkowski's favor, which Joe Miller is challenging.
