Paul Miller is a candidate for US Congressional Dist 1 for Utah.

Join Senator John D. Johnson, as he engages in a conversation with Paul Miller, candidate for Congressional District 1, and top vote-getter at the republican convention.
About Paul
I am Paul Miller, a 40-year-old lifelong resident of northern Utah. I currently live in South Ogden with my wife Breann and our twin boys whom we love and adore. I am LDS, have a concrete belief in God, and participate in prayer regularly. While my religion does provide a firm foundation for my beliefs, I try to look at the whole picture in politics and public policy issues. I am also sick of the Republican Party always caving into the Democrats. We are always the side that has to compromise and it's almost never the other way around. We are in some dire straits and need to stop compromising our country into moral and financial bankruptcy.

Colby Jenkins, Green Beret, Combat Veteran, U.S. Congressional Candidate (Utah - 2nd District)

Colby Jenkins is a small-town Utah native, born and raised in Roosevelt, Utah. His family goes back generations in Utah. After graduating from Union High School, he was the first from his county to ever go to the United States Military Academy at West Point. He credits that “first” to his incredible high school counselor who believed in him, along with many coaches, teachers, and family members who all offered encouragement and support.
He attended West Point for two years before departing to serve a two-year service mission in Brazil for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After his mission, he returned to West Point and later graduated as an Infantry Lieutenant before going on to become an Airborne Ranger. Following 9/11, he knew he needed to serve our nation at the highest level possible, so he prepared himself and tried out to become a Green Beret Special Forces officer. He was fortunate to be selected and went on to command a Special Forces A-team on multiple global deployments, including combat in Afghanistan and counter-drug and hostage rescue operations throughout South America, specifically in the jungles of Colombia.
His experience and combat-tested leadership skills led to assignments in Washington, D.C., where he served as a Green Beret liaison to Congress and a counter-terrorism policy advisor to the Secretary of Defense. During his civilian career, he worked for several years in the Pentagon as the senior legislative advisor to the Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. After working in the Pentagon, he transitioned to the corporate tech world, where he had opportunities to work with some of our world’s most innovative people solving complex problems. He currently resides in St. George, Utah, where he serves as the Director of Tech Integration for a national telecommunications company while continuing his more than two decades of military service as a Colonel in the Army Reserve. He is married to Heather, and together they have two incredible daughters.

He does not just believe in these values but has been actively fighting for them in the legal arena for the last 36 years. Utah needs an Attorney General who understands the office and has real attorney experience in the trenches fighting for our Constitutional rights. Frank brings over three decades of experience, conviction, and passion for defending Utah’s values. We need Frank’s skill and aggressiveness to protect Utah’s interests. In short, we need an attorney, not a politician, as our next Attorney General.
