Campaign Website URL:      www.BrendaMiller.net

Email Address:      BMiller4.CO@gmail.com

Occupation/Vocation:      Industry Contractor

Military Background (if any):      Army Retired

Years Resident of El Paso County/District Represented:      Born in Pueblo, CO, departed for Army service, and returned to House District 21, El Paso County, CO in 1998.

Priorities, Vision, and Experience

What priorities and vision do you have for the office of Colorado State Representative, and how would your personal and professional experience contribute to that?

 

Representing Colorado citizens is the number one priority. Coloradans want to know why they are being priced out life’s necessities. Over the past decade the Democrat forced ideologies results in a budget increase of over 100%, from $20+ Billion to now over $40 Billion and the CO Citizen has borne the brunt of harmful legislative unfunded mandates, regulations, and laws. Their fees-approach circumvents Coloradan Taxpay Bill of Rights (TABOR), without conscious care for Coloradans. I will oppose legislation that circumvents TABOR and other measures that burdens Coloradans. Knowledge on means to reach citizen associations, organizations, and local government resources will serve to inform Citizens of harmful Legislative so that they are empowered to prepare and to oppose unnecessary added burdens.

Accountability

Colorado’s Sunshine Law and Taxpayer Bill of Rights are examples of accountability measures that Colorado’s electorate voted into law. What are your beliefs on ethics in government, and how would you seek to improve accountability and transparency as they relate to the office of Colorado State Representative?

Colorado citizens deserve ethical representation and Representatives must respect and implement the intent of these laws to uphold transparency and fiduciary care of Colorado resources. Legislators that do not adhere to citizen wishes and support costly, ideology-driven legislation, circumvent both of these laws. To improve accountability and transparency I will emphasize that each legislative bill reveal the real price tag, especially laws that pass the burden to local municipalities, cities and communities through a fees (to circumvent TABOR) approach. Currently, fiscal notes reveal a zero fiscal note to the state cost when the real costs are pushed and are still a financial burden to the local citizens. The current method fails both transparency and fiduciary care.

1st Amendment

What are your thoughts on the establishment clause; and if elected, what will you do to protect your constituents’ rights to freedom of religion, speech, peaceable assembly, and petitioning the government for a redress of grievances?

I support the full Bill of Rights to include freedom of speech, press, exercise of religion & the right to petition. For example, due to Colorado high crime rate – which rose 26% between 2011-2023 – thousands of citizens brought forward Proposition 128 as a ballot measure to which CO citizens approved 62% to impose stricter consequences on violent crime offenders. This should have been a hint to Legislators that Colorado citizens want legislation that impose stricter punishments on violent offenders. Instead, in 2026 Democrats attempted to decriminalize mass shooting. The CO Democrats strive to stifle their constituent transparency and minimize time for debate so that citizen grievances are not heard. I will oppose any effort to mute citizen rights.

2nd Amendment

In light of recent Colorado legislation and US Supreme Court’s rulings regarding our nation’s historical tradition of firearms regulation, what steps would you take to protect the rights of the people while addressing gun violence?

Calling a pig in a wig, anything other than a pig? If so, you may be willing to agree with the term ‘gun violence’. I know that guns or any inanimate (non-living) object is not harmful. When in the hands of a violent criminal, any inanimate object like a bat or hairpin, can be used in a violent act. Furthermore, history’s evidence reveals that there is only one reason to disarm law-abiding citizens and that is to exert tyranny upon them. Ask the oppressed people of Iran or China, on this matter. I will fight to protect ‘people of a free state’ in respect of the Constitution’s intent to assure the right to arms ‘are not abridged’.

Anti-Americanism and Antisemitism

There has been a rise in incidences of anti-Americanism and antisemitism in Colorado and across our nation.  What do you view as the causes, and what should be done to address these issues?

Social normalization is an intended process to embed behavior and to make that behavior acceptable. The fact that anti-Americanism and antisemitism is on the rise is evidence that there is a concerted effort (not by accident) to nullify the American melting pot theory which asserts that our unity is the foundation to Pro-Americanism equality. Education institutes are best suited to invigorate Americanism through education programs. As a conservative, I do not promote the development of additional education administrative layers and instead, believe that Colorado Boards of Education can promote education to promote American unity.

Economy and Resources

If elected, what initiatives would you champion to improve Colorado’s economy, including policies on water, energy, and other resources, and how would you make your office more fiscally responsible?

Colorado is natural energy resource heavy. The Democrat war on the abundant natural resources increased Coloradan energy costs unnecessarily, passing the cost of alternate energy to Colorado families. I will champion legislation to lower family energy costs through common sense access to natural energy resources that improve household to business’ economy. The Democrat-ruled state didn’t respect agriculture and beef producers. I will listen to rural private landowners and promote free enterprise that strengthens Colorado’s economy. The Governor failed to establish a long-term water flow plan, instead the plan includes water deals to his home state, California and Arizona. Reversal of harmful ideology-based legislation. All Coloradans deserve to know that conservative responsibility is the foundation from which I will serve.

Education

If elected, how would you help improve the educational outcomes for Colorado’s students, and what is your position on parental authority in K-12 education, including school choice and parental notification?

I am pro-school choice and pro-parent. School choice supports the parent role and authority as the primary decision-maker for their child(ren). I will oppose any legislative effort that serves to circumvent parental authority. It is essential to keep parents updated on their children’s activities, challenges, progress, and all related issues in order to honor their parental authority. Education eventually serves to enhance the student contributions in society. Labor studies reveal the changing landscape of our developing society and the skill gaps that are foreseen to meet that development. Education programs that recognize and facilitate the student’s future set them apart from bare minimum required programs. I will support forward-looking, skill-building education programs.

Protecting the Most Vulnerable

If elected, how would you seek to protect the lives of the most vulnerable in Colorado, from pre-born babies to elderly citizens, and others at risk?

Colorado Democrat extreme ideologies result in aborting the unborn with no regard to the age of the life in the womb. The extreme legislation that permits this act for in state and out-of-state women, regardless of citizenship creates a monetary burden, as well. Those costs are passed on to many, like me, who are pro-life, again with no regard. Mental illness and elderly abuse are consequential, and remedies are available through local-level governance. Human trafficking is increased primarily in sanctuary cities and states like Colorado with leftist legislators that work diligently to lower Human trafficking penalties. I will oppose all legislative efforts to fund or support abortion in any form and will support legislation that increases penalties for human trafficking.

Public Safety and Rule of Law

What are your priorities for addressing crime in Colorado, including issues such as cybercrime and the slavery of human trafficking, and how do you view the role of state policy in addressing immigration-related challenges and coordination with federal authorities? Also, what is your opinion regarding sanctuary city (or county) policies?

Colorado crime rates continue to climb due to the lessening of crime penalties. This is known as decriminalizing. Without regard to pleas from law enforcement and judicial leaders whom arrive to the capital to relay the impact of decriminalization legislation, the Democrats continue to pass laws that support criminals and revictimize victims. My priority to address rising crime in Colorado is to oppose all decriminalization legislation. This includes increasing consequences for cybersecurity and human trafficking. Human trafficking is so injurious that anti-human trafficking legislation must deliver harsh consequences. I am pro-Constitution which stipulates the proper method to attain citizenship. I do not support city, county or state sanctuary status.

Election Integrity

Do you believe that elections should be conducted differently in order to ensure integrity and confidence?  Should people be required to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote, and/or be required to show a government-issued ID to cast their vote?

The right to vote is a treasured citizen’s right. Laws that support strict integrity standards and severe consequences for breaking voting laws are important to citizen confidence in election results. Coloradans are invited to be familiar with the lates voter law, SB25-001, Colorado Voting Rights Act. The Act signed into law in May 2025, is extensive. Among the articles is an article that prohibits enforcing voter qualification … based on an individual’s actual or perceived gender expression. This speaks to proof of identity and prohibits other eligibility qualification. This Act loosened identity standard. I oppose legislation that does not tighten voter eligibility qualifications and do support the show of government issued identification to exercise the right to vote.

Constitutional Compatibility

Many Christians are concerned about ideologies that place the state, the collective, or religious law above individual liberty and limited constitutional government.  Do you believe socialism, communism, or political movements seeking to impose religious law — including Islamic Sharia law — are compatible with America’s constitutional representative democracy?  Why or why not?

There are some who deny the role of Christianity in our nation and the U.S. Constitution. I am of the opposite studied mindset. The United States, as a ‘Christian Nation” unified the founding fathers to draft a national Constitution that elevates God over man, rights as God-given, and stress equality of all men (all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator). The American spirit is nurtured and individual freedom (away from tyranny of a state) is emphasized in the Declaration of Independence. An ‘imposed religion’ defies the very first Amendment in the Bill of Rights and thus, is not compatible with the United States Constitution. Additionally, the United States is not a Democracy, but rather a Republic nation.

Christian voting

Voting is a simple, yet significant way to do something about public policy in our country. As people of faith, we will be held accountable for our actions, as well as our lack of action. (Luke 12:48)

Biblical worldview

By diligently learning, applying, and trusting God’s truths in every area of our lives, we can begin to develop a deep comprehensive faith that will stand against the unrelenting tide of our culture’s non-biblical ideas.

Vote your values

The issues of the day change. Political parties and platforms change. God’s Word never changes. The vote of every Christian should be based on the principles of Scripture and not persuasive personalities.

Electing righteous leaders

Bad governance and our loss of freedom is the direct result of the church’s failure to disciple. When the citizenry do not seek to be obedient to God’s Law, they vote in wicked and corrupt candidates, who then trample underfoot the God-given liberties of the people.
