Fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement.
Occurrences
Supporting law enforcement and combating fentanyl with increased funding for the DEA, stronger tools to fight drug trafficking, and enhanced efforts to protect children from exploitation.
Max takes vigorous action and pushes for commonsense policies that put Ohio and America First... [with issues that matter] the most – high taxation, workforce development, fentanyl overdoses caused by an unfettered southern border, supporting law enforcement, and bolstering American energy security.
We should bolster, not undermine, public safety by supporting law enforcement, including with critical funding to recruit, train, and retain officers.
Evidence
Law Enforcement: "Max knows how important law enforcement is in keeping our families safe. While radical Democrats want to defund and degrade our law enforcement on the front lines, Max will fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement."

Assessments
Miller’s promise to fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement was materially fulfilled during his current term: he co-introduced legislation to expand grant support for police staffing, voted for appropriations legislation described as increasing law-enforcement-related funding, and later reported securing enacted FY26 community project funding for police equipment and vehicle modernization in his district. That is direct, candidate-linked delivery rather than only symbolic support.
Miller promised to fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement, and the record shows tangible same-term delivery. Most importantly, appropriations bills signed into law included Community Project Funding he said he secured for district police departments, including Brecksville Police Department equipment and vehicle replacement and Independence Police Department vehicle modernization. Separate evidence also says the appropriations package he voted for increased law-enforcement-related funding, including DEA funding and anti-trafficking tools. While some of his legislative efforts, such as the COPS hiring grant bill, appear to be proposals rather than enacted law, the enacted police-focused funding is sufficient to count this promise as delivered rather than merely attempted.
Miller promised to fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement. The evidence shows both concrete efforts and enacted results during the same term: he requested police-focused community project funding, co-introduced legislation to expand COPS grant uses for recruitment and retention bonuses, voted for an appropriations package described as increasing law-enforcement-related funding, and later announced enacted FY26 community project funding that included police equipment and vehicle modernization projects. Because the promised outcome was framed as advocacy for increased funding/support rather than passage of a specific bill or nationwide funding target, the enacted district police funding is sufficient to count as delivered.
