of Illinois, she was elected back in 2021. Congresswoman Miller, thank you so much for joining us.

Well, thank you for having me. It's a privilege and I appreciate the work you're all

doing to get information out to the public, you know, whoever controls

the information controls the people.

That is so true.

Now, I'm really curious about your background.

First you're a member of the Freedom Caucus, we'll get into that a little bit but tell us you know about why you decided to run for Congress my understanding is that you've been running a grain and a cattle farm with your husband. That sounds like a wonderful life in Korea.

So why did you want to road for Congress?

Sure.

First of all, for those of you that have seen,

if you're old enough to have seen the black and white movie,

Mr. Smith goes to Washington, they need to do a remake.

Mrs. Miller went to Washington because I am an unlikely member of Congress.

I'm not a politician, and so I haven't served in the Illinois house or anything and I'm not a lawyer

My husband and I run a grain and cattle farm. We raised corn cattle and kids had seven children and

we have 20 grandchildren now. I'm an educator, so I ended up having an epiphany once in a public school that our children didn't belong there.
