About Lisa Miller
Lisa Miller is a long-time resident of Somerville, where she and her husband, Roy, have raised three boys (Nathan—24, Brian—21, and Terry—18). Lisa was born, raised, and educated in California, where she obtained her college degree in human biology from Stanford University. She has a graduate degree in public health from the University of Michigan. Husband Roy is the founding physician of the Sheepscot Valley Health Center in rural Coopers Mills.
Lisa has worked the past 10 years as Senior Program Officer for a Maine health foundation called The Bingham Program. Prior to that she operated her own small consulting business for 12 years. Since arriving in Maine in 1977, Lisa has spent the better part of both her work and volunteer life advocating for:
• access to health care
• community-based efforts to prevent disease and promote health
• protection of the environment
• quality education in rural schools
Additional issues she has promoted in the legislature include health care cost containment, rural school district cost-sharing, and improvements in small business regulation.
Lisa has a strong commitment to small town civic life, having served 5 years on the Somerville School Committee, 24 years as the town health officer, and three years as a regional recycling volunteer. She has also spent at least 24 years volunteering in various capacities for the town school and the town fire department women’s auxiliary. Rep. Miller has served on numerous nonprofit boards, including the Maine Health Information Center, the Maine Health Access Foundation, the Maine Center for Economic Policy, the Maine Philanthropy Center, and the Family Planning Association of Maine.
When she is not occupied with legislative issues and public service, you can find Lisa in mid-September at the T-shirt booth for the Common Ground Country Fair, where she and her husband have coordinated purchase and sales of Fair –related items for the past 12 years.
We need Lisa’s hard work, experience and innovative ideas to give us the best possible representation! |
