New Endorsement for Gary Miller

Rep. Gary Miller, R-Diamond Bar, has a new endorsement in his quest to win the 31st Congressional District this November.

The Leading Builders of America announced that it is endorsing Miller because his "support of homeowners is unmatched in Congress," according to LBA Executive Director Ken Gear. 

The LBA was formed in 2009, with members including several large North American homebuilding companies. The LBA’s website says that the organization’s purpose is to "preserve home affordability for American families."

In response to the endorsement, Miller said, "job creation is my biggest priority in Washington. In our county, the county hardest hit by the 2008 recession in the state, restarting the home building industry is critical to returning jobs many thought might never return. With hard work and perseverance I know we can get the most vulnerable and hardest hit families back to work."

Miller is running against State Senator Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga, in the recently redrawn 31st Congressional District. Miller currently represents Diamond Bar, but moved inland to avoid a run against Ed Royce, R-Fullerton, for the 39th Congressional District. Miller and Dutton are vying for the seat that will be vacated by longtime Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Redlands.
