<h4>Taking on Price Gouging and Unfair Utility Hikes: Protecting Your Pocketbook</h4>Protecting you from fraud is just the beginning. For too many families, every trip to the grocery store and every monthly power bill feels like a gut punch. You deserve to know if you're paying a fair price for the essentials you need to live. When a handful of powerful corporations control the market, they can engage in practices that drive up costs for everyone. I believe your Attorney General must be a financial watchdog who investigates why your bills are so high.As Attorney General, Tanya will:<ul><li>Launch investigations into the grocery supply chain to uncover any illegal price gouging or anti-competitive practices that are artificially inflating the cost of food.</li><li>Challenge unfair and unjustified rate hikes from power and utility monopolies. I will represent you, the ratepayer, and be your advocate before the Public Service Commission.</li><li>Demand transparency from large corporations so Georgians can see why prices are rising and hold them accountable for any corporate greed that harms families.</li><li>Use the full anti-trust authority of the office to ensure a competitive market that gives consumers more choices and lower prices.</li></ul>

Her career has been defined by one core principle: the law should serve people, not political interests.Whether prosecuting a complex homicide case or drafting legislation to support small businesses, Tanya brings an unmatched legal background and an unwavering commitment to fairness. She believes that competence and quality—not backroom deals—should be what moves our state forward. As a State Representative, she has already begun this work. As Attorney General, she will expand it to protect every family and business in Georgia.

<h4>An Experienced Prosecutor's Plan for Public Safety</h4>A safe community is the foundation for a prosperous life. As a prosecutor, I have spent my career in the courtroom working to keep families safe and hold violent criminals accountable. I know what it takes to build a justice system that is both tough and smart—one that prosecutes crime effectively while earning the public’s trust and ensuring fairness.As Attorney General, Tanya will:<ul><li>Target and dismantle violent criminal networks, human trafficking rings and those who traffic illegal guns and deadly drugs like fentanyl into our state.</li><li>Support local law enforcement by providing the resources, training and assistance needed to solve crimes and protect our neighborhoods.</li><li>Prioritize the prosecution of crimes against children and domestic violence to protect the most vulnerable among us.</li><li>Work to strengthen our justice system by promoting evidence-based policies that reduce recidivism and make our communities safer in the long run.</li></ul>

<h5>A Record of Results</h5><h2>An Unmatched Record of Experience</h2>On the Front Lines of JusticeAfter earning her undergraduate and law degrees from Case Western Reserve University, Tanya built a career defending our communities. She served as a federal prosecutor and later as a supervising attorney in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, where she was an undefeated homicide prosecutor. This firsthand experience with the human impact of public policy solidified her commitment to fighting for vulnerable communities. In 2022, her alma mater recognized her distinguished career by inducting her into its School of Law Hall of Fame.A Champion for Small BusinessAt the State Capitol, Tanya is a leading voice for economic fairness. She took direct action to break down systemic barriers for minority, women and veteran-owned businesses by co-sponsoring HR 487. She continues to lead the charge against legislative efforts that protect the record profits of large insurance companies at the expense of Georgia's Main Street businesses, fighting to prevent unfair premium hikes.

As your Attorney General, my office will be your law firm. The law should be a shield that protects Georgia’s families and a tool that creates opportunity for everyone, not just the powerful and well-connected. My mission is to use the full power of the Attorney General's office to fight for you.Together, we will build a Georgia that is safer for our children, fairer for our workers and small businesses, and more prosperous for every community. Here’s my commitment to you:

<h4>Defending Our Constitutional Rights: Justice for All</h4>The Attorney General has a sacred duty to uphold the Constitution of Georgia and the United States, and to protect the fundamental rights of every single person. This responsibility is above politics and party. I will serve as an independent voice, ensuring that the rights of all Georgians are safeguarded and that the promise of "equal justice under law" is a reality, not just a slogan.As Attorney General, Tanya will:<ul><li>Safeguard our most fundamental right—the right to vote—and challenge any effort that seeks to unlawfully disenfranchise Georgia voters.</li><li>Protect the privacy of Georgians from unwarranted government intrusion and corporate overreach in the digital age.</li><li>Uphold the rule of law to ensure that no one, no matter how powerful, is above accountability.</li><li>Fight discrimination in all its forms and ensure every Georgian is treated with dignity and fairness by their government.</li></ul>

<h4>Championing Small Businesses: Ensuring a Level Playing Field</h4>Small businesses are the backbone of Georgia's economy. They create jobs, innovate and enrich our neighborhoods. But too often, they are forced to compete against giant corporations that use their power to bend the rules, stifle competition, and evade responsibility. I believe in a marketplace where the best ideas—not the biggest legal budgets—win.As Attorney General, Tanya will:<ul><li>Challenge monopolistic practices that drive up prices for consumers and block small businesses from competing fairly.</li><li>Hold corporations accountable for negligence that harms our environment, our workers and our local economies.</li><li>Establish a Small Business Protection Unit within the Attorney General’s office to serve as a resource and advocate for Georgia entrepreneurs.</li><li>Fight to protect Georgia’s businesses from anti-competitive behavior and corporate actors who refuse to play by the rules.</li></ul>

'Judge me for my work…I can’t help that I’m a woman,' Tanya Miller says Georgia needs a fighter

A four-day week­end of events in Rome hon­or­ing Dr. Mar­tin Luther King Jr. con­cluded Monday with the Free­dom March, which drew hun­dreds, some hold­ing signs, oth­ers hold­ing hands as they made their way down Broad Street.On a blustery morn­ing they walked, shoulder to shoulder, through down­town Rome, at times singing and chant­ing as they made their way toward City Hall.Hun­dreds join the Free­dom March down Broad Street in Rome in observ­ance of the Mar­tin Luther King Jr. hol­i­day.There they gathered in the City Aud­it­or­ium to hear the key­note address from Geor­gia State Rep­res­ent­at­ive Tanya Miller, who encour­aged those in attend­ance to be inspired by the words and work of King, even in the face of injustice.Alvin Jack­son, vice chair­per­son of the Mar­tin Luther King Jr. Cel­eb­ra­tion Com­mit­tee, addresses march­ers out­side City Hall Monday.“We gather here at a moment in our beloved Amer­ican his­tory marked by heart­break­ing viol­ence in our streets, anxi­ety in our homes, instabil­ity in our eco­nomy and deepdivi­sion in our nation,” Miller said. “A moment when many are temp­ted to with­draw, to dis­en­gage, to simply wait for calmer waters. But Dr. King warned us pre­cisely against this instinct. He said, ‘We are now faced with the fact that tomor­row is today. We are con­fron­ted with the fierce urgency of now.’”Hun­dreds take part in the annual Free­dom March down Broad Street in Rome Monday.Miller said King’s leg­acy lies in under­stand­ing the “long work of justice.”Travis and Kayla Camp­bell sing along at the MLK Day cel­eb­ra­tion pro­gram at the Rome City Aud­it­or­ium Monday.“The work of justice can’t be out­sourced,” Miller said. “He believed the long work of justice could bend the arc of his­tory. Not just because the power­ful had a change of heart, but because work­ing people of every hue stood together and refused to be invis­ible.”Miller spoke dur­ing a jam­packed pro­gram that fea­tured the MLK Com­munity Choir as well as remarks from city of Rome and Floyd County lead­ers.Miller had a mes­sage for them as well.“If you’re going to lead the people, you’ve got to love them,” Miller said.Sundai Steven­son, chair­per­son of the Mar­tin Luther King Jr. Cel­eb­ra­tion Com­mit­tee, said that people of all col­ors, creeds, reli­gions and back­grounds have a role to play in real­iz­ing the dream of equal rights for all.“It doesn’t mat­ter how we look — dif­fer­ent col­ors, dif­fer­ent hues, young and old, black, white — this is what it’s going to take,” Steven­son said. “But you know what?

Powerful Democratic state representative enters Georgia attorney general race

State Rep. Tanya Miller wants to join Democratic attorneys general across the country who have halted some of the president’s initiatives.By&nbsp;<a href="https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/author/chauncey-alcorn/">Chauncey Alcorn</a>May 1, 2026Prosecuting violent criminals, gang members, and human traffickers has been the mission of Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr over the past 10 years. But candidate Tanya Miller said she wants to use the office to improve affordability and push back against President Donald Trump’s policies.The cuts to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbpp.org/research/housing/nearly-37-million-people-at-risk-of-losing-needed-rental-assistance-to-harsh-time">rental assistance</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/snap-changes-what-to-know/">Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits</a>, and federal&nbsp;<a href="https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/black-federal-workers-laid-off-doge-cuts-atlanta/">worker layoffs</a>&nbsp;in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act have all disproportionately impacted the lives of Black Americans.Miller said she wants to join the coalition of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/23/democratic-attorneys-general-trump-election-meddling-midterms-00792192">Democratic attorneys general</a>&nbsp;across the country who have&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/us/politics/trump-homelessness-funding-judge.html">sued to block</a>&nbsp;some of Trump’s policies from taking full effect.“The strongest firewall against the policies that the Trump administration has been enacting and that are hurting citizens, and in particular, hurting Georgians, have been Democratic AGs,” Miller said Wednesday. “They have been responsible for almost 100 lawsuits. The vast majority of those lawsuits have been successful.”The attorney general is the state’s top legal adviser who represents Georgians collectively in civil cases and all cases brought before the U.S. Supreme Court. The job involves going after organized criminals and corrupt politicians as well as companies violating the rights of Georgia citizens.Miller, 52, is a civil rights attorney and Democratic&nbsp;<a href="https://www.legis.ga.gov/members/house/5029?session=1033">state House representative</a>&nbsp;from Atlanta competing in the party’s May 19 AG primary race. Early voting in the race began on Monday and ends on May 15.Her opponent in the Democratic primary is former state House Minority Leader&nbsp;<a href="https://georgiarecorder.com/briefs/former-democratic-state-house-leader-announces-bid-to-be-georgias-attorney-general/">Bob Trammell</a>, a career family and small-business attorney from Luthersville who launched his bid in July.Both candidates say they want to stop Trump’s policy agenda. Miller said the difference between them is experience. She previously spent more than seven years working in the Fulton County district attorney’s office and noted that Trammell’s lengthy law career includes more than 20 years of private practice, but none as a government prosecutor.“He has never held a prosecutorial position,” Miller said of Trammell. “That is the kind of experience that I bring to the table.”Trammell is the former state House lawmaker who took over for Stacey Abrams as minority leader in 2017 when she began pursuing her first gubernatorial run. He won three close elections from 2014 to 2018 before&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ajc.com/politics/house-democratic-leaders-loss-in-rural-georgia-highlights-political-divide/UZ62ME6XS5FKRJDC2SMEF24HGU/">losing</a>&nbsp;to state Rep.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.legis.ga.gov/members/house/5005?session=1033">David Jenkins</a>&nbsp;by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.times-herald.com/news/local/jenkins-defeats-trammell-singleton-bonner-win-handily/article_7b81e7b9-93c4-5603-bc89-37de915651fa.html">less than 1,000 votes</a>.While conceding he’s never been a prosecutor, Trammell said Friday that the AG’s office is involved primarily in civil legal proceedings. He said his 27 years of legal experience and six years defeating Republicans in a purple district make him a better choice for Democrats.I’m battle tested,” Trammell told Capital B Atlanta. “Ultimately, what we all want is to have a Democratic attorney general that’s in a position to protect Georgians and use the office for the benefit of the people of Georgia and to protect the public trust.”Tanya Miller (left) said she plans to be a stronger advocate for the public if she is elected state attorney general. (Tanya for Georgia)A big part of Miller’s platform involves reining in mega corporations fueling Georgia’s affordability crisis. She said that includes grocery store supply chains boosting prices on consumer goods and utility companies overcharging for electricity.Voters&nbsp;<a href="https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/election-2025-results-the-winners-in-key-georgia-races/">booted</a>&nbsp;two Republican members of the state’s Public Service Commission last year after the regulatory body approved a series of Georgia Power rate hikes that caused many people’s energy bills to rise. During&nbsp;<a href="https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/georgia-psc-election-energy-bills/">interviews</a>&nbsp;last year with Capital B Atlanta, the former commissioners, Fitz Johnson and Tim Echols, acknowledged accepting campaign donations from Georgia Power-affiliated donors.Miller noted that the attorney general serves as an adviser to the PSC. She said she plans to get more involved in PSC rate hike negotiations and be a stronger advocate for the public.“Instead of using that power and that role to protect special interests, you use that power and that role to fight for consumers,” Miller said. “My goal is to use this voice of mine, this office, to always, anytime there is a microphone, champion the cause of working in middle-class families.”Miller also wants to help lower housing costs by going after companies like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gpb.org/news/2025/11/25/new-limits-for-rent-algorithm-prosecutors-say-let-landlords-drive-prices">RealPage</a>&nbsp;that use artificial intelligence software to boost rent prices. In November, the Texas-based company settled an antitrust lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Justice and agreed not to share “competitively sensitive information” that allowed landlords to maximize monthly housing charges.Metro Atlanta rent prices rose by $181 per month in 2023 as a result of RealPage’s work, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/atlanta-leads-rental-properties-affected-price-algorithms-report-says">highest boost in the nation</a>, according to a Biden administration report.Earlier this year, Miller introduced legislation known as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/73933">Rental Pricing Integrity Act</a>&nbsp;that would bar companies from using AI to fix rent prices. The measure stalled in the state House Judiciary Committee, but Miller said she would push for its passage again as attorney general.‘When I’m AG, we will use the antitrust [arm of the office] to crack down on that,” she said.She’s also a staunch advocate for abortion rights who’s vowed not to take any action in support of Georgia’s abortion restriction law, which she believes is unconstitutional. Miller noted the abortion-related deaths of Black women like&nbsp;<a href="https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/abortion-georgia-six-week-amber-thurman-candi-miller/">Amber Thurman and Candi Miller</a>in the years since the state’s abortion ban took effect.Georgia has one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/maternal-mortality-report/">highest maternal mortality rates</a>&nbsp;in the nation. Recent-year studies show Black women are&nbsp;<a href="https://dph.georgia.gov/document/document/maternal-mortality-2018-2020-case-review/download">more likely</a>&nbsp;to suffer pregnancy-related deaths than women of other races.

"She understands what people are going through and is committed to delivering real change."&nbsp;Rep. Miller, District 62 representative and Georgia attorney general candidate, sits down with CBS News Atlanta.CBS News Atlanta<h2>A national recognition rooted in Georgia politics</h2>Miller, who represents District 62 and is now running for Georgia attorney general, said the award reflects decades of work — from prosecuting crimes against women and children to advocating for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/tag/voting-rights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">voting rights</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/tag/health-care/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">healthcare access</a>."I hope it is a testament to a career spent standing on the front lines for working people," Miller said.&nbsp;Her record, highlighted by EMILY's List, includes pushing back against Republican-led policies at the state Capitol and advocating for expanded healthcare access in a state facing some of the nation's worst&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news/georgia-advocates-rally-for-maternal-health-funding-at-state-capitol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">maternal mortality rates</a>.Georgia ranks among the highest in the country for uninsured residents, and Miller pointed to hospital closures and gaps in care as urgent issues driving her campaign.<h2>Election losses — but a deeper story underneath</h2>The award arrives just one day after Georgia Democrats lost a recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/georgia-runoff-republican-clay-fuller-marjorie-taylor-greene/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Georgia runoff election</a>.&nbsp;The results could suggest Republican strength at first glance, but Miller argues the reality is more complicated."That was about as ruby-red a district as you get," she said, pointing to heavily gerrymandered maps that skew outcomes. "This isn't the end. This is just the beginning."&nbsp;Despite the loss, she emphasized turnout and engagement among Democratic voters as a key indicator of long-term momentum."We've had extraordinary success in Georgia since 2024," Miller added, citing recent Democratic wins in traditionally Republican-leaning areas.&nbsp;EMILY's List President Jessica Mackler spoke with CBS News about the legacy of the Gabbie Gifford's Awards.CBS News Atlanta<h2>Democratic women at the center of Georgia's political future</h2>EMILY's List leaders say Miller's recognition reflects a broader strategy: investing in Democratic women — particularly in battleground states like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/tag/georgia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Georgia&nbsp;</a>— as a pathway to shifting political power."Democratic women are at the center of how we're going to deliver real change," Mackler said.&nbsp;The organization has long prioritized Georgia, where recent election cycles have shown both narrow margins and shifting voter dynamics.Mackler pointed to recent Democratic overperformance — even in difficult political environments — as evidence that the groundwork is already being laid.<h2>The pipeline for Black women leaders</h2>Miller's win also highlights the growing influence of Black women in political leadership — a trend both she and&nbsp;<a href="https://emilyslist.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EMILY's List</a>&nbsp;say is critical to the party's future."Black women have been at the heart of the fight for change throughout history," Mackler said.&nbsp;For Miller, the moment is about more than personal recognition."My goal is to take that spotlight and shine it on working people," she said.&nbsp;Georgia State Rep. Tanya Miller steps into the national spotlight after receiving EMILY's List's 2026 Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star <a href="http://Award.Office">Award.Office</a> of Rep. Tanya Miller<h2>Challenges ahead: messaging and voter connection</h2>Still, Miller acknowledged that Democrats face real challenges, particularly in how they communicate with voters."We have struggled with condensing complex things into simple, translatable messages," she said.&nbsp;She stressed the need for the party to not only oppose Republican policies, but clearly articulate its own vision, especially on economic issues affecting everyday Georgians."We have families choosing between childcare and their mortgage," she said. "That's what we have to speak to."&nbsp;<h2>Looking ahead to 2026</h2>With her campaign for&nbsp;<a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Georgia_Attorney_General_election,_2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">attorney general&nbsp;</a>underway, Miller says the stakes in the next election cycle couldn't be higher."This is one of the most consequential elections of my lifetime," she said, urging voters to turn out.&nbsp;For Democrats, the question now is whether moments like Miller's rise signal a broader shift — one not fully captured by individual election results.Or, as Miller framed it: "The voters are the differentiator. They decide what comes next."&nbsp;
