Biographical Note
George Miller (b. 1922) has been active in Tucson's Democratic Party politics since the
1970s. He was elected to the city council on a liberal to libertarian platform in 1977, a
position which he occupied until 1991. In 1991 he was elected Tucson's mayor. He served two
terms as mayor of Tucson, retiring from public office in 1999. Geroge Miller has the
disction of as Tucson"s longest serving public official, serving twenty-two consecutive
years in office. Miller graduated from the University of Arizona and taught social studies at Tucson's
Amphitheater High School from 1948 to 1951. He also served in World War II. After his
teaching stint, Miller devoted himself to the development of his own paint contracting
business (G. and M. Painting Contractors) before entering politics. Miller has long been
identified with liberal perspectives, having been investigated by the House Un-American
Activities subcommittee in 1954 (he refused to answer their questions about his membership
in the communist party), and having served as one of the chief proponents in southern
Arizona of George McGovern's 1972 presidential bid.
