On the issues

The following positions are Miller's own statements, provided through BallotReady candidate responses and her campaign website.

Criminal justice and public safety: Miller said she would target violent criminal networks, human trafficking rings and those who traffic illegal guns and fentanyl into the state. She said she would prosecute robocall operations, identity thieves and online scammers, and prioritize crimes against children and domestic violence. She said she would pursue those who commit elder fraud and financial abuse against seniors. She said she would support local law enforcement with resources and training, promote evidence-based policies to reduce recidivism, and fight predatory lending and illegal debt collection.

Economy and consumer protection: Miller said she would use the attorney general's antitrust authority to ensure a competitive market that gives consumers more choices and lower prices. She said she would launch investigations into the grocery supply chain to uncover illegal price gouging or anti-competitive practices. She said she would demand transparency from large corporations on rising prices and hold them accountable.

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

Abortion rights: Miller said she would use her constitutional law background to fight any efforts to block access to choice.

Healthcare: Miller said she would fight to expand Medicaid, increase access to prenatal and postpartum healthcare, and ensure that Georgians who are incarcerated or on parole are not left out of healthcare discussions.

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.
