On the issues

Miller's campaign has outlined positions on several topics, according to her campaign website.

Consumer protection and the economy: Miller said she would use the attorney general's antitrust authority to ensure competitive markets. She said she would launch investigations into the grocery supply chain to uncover illegal price gouging or anti-competitive practices and demand transparency from large corporations.

Criminal justice: Miller said she would target violent criminal networks, human trafficking rings and those who traffic illegal guns and fentanyl. She said she would prioritize prosecution of crimes against children and domestic violence, protect seniors from elder fraud and aggressively prosecute robocall operations, identity theft and online scams.

Voting rights: Miller said she would advocate for full access to voting, including protecting weekend and early voting, expanding mail-in voting and securing convenient drop box locations and hours.

Abortion rights: Miller said she would advocate for abortion rights and use her legal background in constitutional law to fight efforts to block access to choice.

Utility rates: Miller said she would challenge unfair rate hikes from power and utility monopolies and represent ratepayers before the Public Service Commission.

The attorney general can enforce applicable laws, represent the state and pursue litigation within the office’s authority. Changes to taxes, public benefits or school funding generally require legislation and budget decisions; the attorney general cannot enact them alone.
