Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Tanya Miller is a mother, Georgia State Representative, House Democratic Caucus Chair, and a distinguished trial attorney with more than two decades of courtroom experience. Raised by her mother, a proud union worker, Tanya learned resilience, hard work, and perseverance early in life, starting with a paper route at the age of nine, working her way through school, and later balancing jobs and motherhood on her path to becoming a lawyer.

A Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, Miller has built a national reputation for her fierce commitment to justice, fairness, and integrity. She has fought for victims, defended constitutional rights, and represented working families in wrongful death, personal injury, criminal defense, and civil rights cases — including police misconduct under Section 1983.

Her public service record includes work as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in New York, a Fulton County prosecutor handling homicides and crimes against women and children, and now as a Georgia legislator where she was elected Democratic Caucus Chair in 2024. Today, she continues to champion workers’ rights as General Counsel to the Georgia Federation of Public Service Employees.

Today, she is committed to upholding the rule of law, rooting out public corruption, protecting consumers, defending working families, and putting the Attorney General’s office back where it belongs: in the service of the people.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Enforcing the law and public safety.

The Attorney General works with local prosecutors and law enforcement to combat criminal networks, violent crimes, cyber offenses, illegal guns, deadly drugs, and human trafficking. Beyond pursuing these cases and supporting local enforcement with training and programs to help prevent and solve crimes, I will also uplift programs to divert nonviolent, first time offenders from our prison system, reduce recidivism and focus on putting formerly incarcerated citizens on the path to gainful employment and full participation in our democracy.Defending Georgia’s laws and Constitution.

The Attorney General plays a critical role in protecting civil rights, ensuring fair elections, and maintaining public trust in our institutions. The office is also a check on abuses of power, whether that’s public corruption, misuse of taxpayer dollars, or violations of the law. I will be leveraging my past experience as a state and federal prosecutor and civil rights lawyer to ensure those who do wrong are held accountable.Protecting consumers.

One of the most direct ways the Attorney General helps everyday people is by going after scams, deceptive business practices, and corporate misconduct. From predatory lending to price gouging, this office has the authority to hold bad actors accountable and return money to consumers. This session, I introduced legislation to prevent Ponzi schemes (HB 1521) and stop rent price fixing by corporate landlords (HB 1520) and level the playing field between insurance companies and consumers, who often do not get to weigh in on the rate setting process (HB733).
